Hellen

the best opening band I've seen in a long time..

About Me

Hellen are five girls that play rock and roll, straight up, just the way they like it. The girls have been plucking away for almost three years and have made quite a name for themselves in Detroit. Before their first show on New Years Eve 2004 none of them had any experience playing live rock and roll. But that all changed once people caught a glimpse of these raucus ladies.The heavy hitting rythm section is laid down by Emily Schaller on drums and Amanda Mentzer on bass. Charmain Azzopardi and Becca Tyler wail on their guitars while Katie Galazka dominates on vocals. Hellen has been described as a modern day version of The Runaways, quite a compliment for the girls especially when you look at who came out of The Runaways (Joan Jett, Lita Ford etc).Hellen has what a lot of bands don't have and that is the ability to put egos aside. They have dedicated a lot of their time and hard work to help Emily wiht her fundraising afforts for Cystic Fibrosis(CF). Emily has CF and organizes the annual Just Let Me Breathe concert that benefits her Rock CF Foundation. Hellen is in it together and are fighting the good fight against this horrid genetic disease that affects 30,000 people nationwide.Nothing stands in the way of the girls from Hellen. Their future is bright and they plan to rock as long as they can!
