Heliopolis Los Angeles-Area Gig -- March 14, 2013

[Jefferson James]

Happy to announce Heliopolis' first LA-area gig March 14, 2013 (Thursday is the new Friday) with our friends The Running Jumps (XTC-inspired prog-pop), Plasticsoul (killer powerpop) and Malcolm Cross (of Minibar). We're closing out the night with a free-form band jam dropping some prog covers and perhaps even some XTC.

Los Angeles peeps!!! Do not miss this show!!! After seeing Heliopolis last Saturday night, I will attest to their musicianship!

[MindFur]

Highly recommend this one.

If it weren't on a Thursday...Road Trip!

Man oh man. That sounds like it's going to be a great night!

That really appeals to all of us here at the assisted living facility!

Miss you, man!

[Lopez]

Good luck with the show, Kerry.

Nice clip guys. It seems as if when it comes to the local prog scene its thriving a bit more on the west coast as compared to the east coast. I'm hoping to plan a trip out there in the near future and catch one of these shows. Good luck with the show.

[Jefferson James]

Thank you so much, good people! Looking forward to this show very much...still practicing "Siberian" and trying to get the vocals right LOL. What an amazing song!

[Jefferson James]

A final love bump -- on the off-chance any LA-area PE people might give us a shot. :)

Man, what a great thing to see this band--fantastic, just FANTASTIC!!
For a second show in front of civilians, everyone was blown away--could've told us it was your 10th anniversary and it would've seemed credible!
I thought all the guys were excellent, and the mix of styles and energies was wonderful--and, I just love seeing my friend Matt Brown utilizing all his powers for good!

We need to get this band in front of MORE PEOPLE!!

Congrats, guys--here's to many more and much success!!

Thanks a million, David -- we really appreciate the support and YES, Matt was awesome! We had an absolute BLAST -- the venue was great (the sound guy was playing Gentle Giant, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Piglet between bands!), we had a great crowd, all the bands were wonderful, and the Jumble Jam(tm) was a ton of fun.

We're gonna law low for a couple of months and get some recordings in the works, planning on playing locally again perhaps in late May or early June. We'll make it a weekend night next time!

Thanks again for coming to the show, David, see you soon...
