- Myspace Editor DEAR ALL ANNOYING MUSICIANS, BANDS, AND COMEDIANS... IF YOU ARE NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN BEING MY "FRIEND" OR A "FRIEND" OF THE BAND, PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ASKING ME TO ADD YOU. I SINCERELY HATE MYSPACE SPAM. IT MAKES ME ANNOYED AND ANGRY. JUST KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND. Of course if you really mean it - I am flattered and look forward to your request and our subsequent my space exchanges...It has been a long time since that life-changing day when Deena, the voice and alter ego of Unruly Helga, decided to do her own thing. It may not have been one specific day, or moment, or anything else that you can put your finger on. It was more likely a lifetime of moments that lead to a clear decision that enough was enough. She found her voice and was prepared to step up and use it.----------Its all about substance. Its all about knowing who you are. Its all about remaining true to those things.----------It would be years before Deena even stepped foot into her first solo recording session. Splitting from her best friend's band and turning down offer after offer to join others would lead her to something more significant than she ever imagined; her own band, her own music, her own voice.----------But thats boring now. Its water under the bridge and seems like a lifetime ago to Deena and her cohorts. These days its about writing songs, playing music, and just generally rocking indie style. You may be searching to read about the sensational stuff like fights, drugs, and a revolving door of band members. Thats not this band. Thats not the Unruly Helga story.----------This is a story about perseverance and tenacity. Its about knowing what you want and not letting anybody change that. This is about expressing yourself for no other reason then it feels right, and that shouldnt be controlled by an industry of people who need to chew you up and spit you out to make money. Its about playing music.----------So the music. After 8 years of playing, performing, and making music with the same four musicians, a day in the life of Unruly Helga is pretty damn gratifying. Nope no platinum selling albums yet. And no million dollar music videos. And no big fancy recording contracts still. But all that can be simply explained by the mere fact that Deena is a bit of a pain in the ass, and may be too specific for her own good... or not. Hunting down record company offers is yesterdays news. Her idea of success is not measured in monetary figures, but in the intensity of music created without the mainstream iron fist that kills the art in the artist.----------So rip it, burn it, download it, you may even be as bold as to purchase it. However you do it please enjoy the music. Lets try to get back to a time of actually listening and forming opinions, and letting yourself - ALLOWING yourself - to think for yourself. From one voice of a broken generation to another good luck in this fucked up world.
