Helen's Evil Twin

About Me

Some people are saying nice things about us:

"A unique, feisty, punky pop band had impressive dual vocals and a violin. Helen's Evil twin straddles genres, introducing an indie/alternative vibe halfway through the set. A genuine treat for all good music lovers." - Flat Pak Yak

"Helen's Evil Twin... as anyone who's seen 'em will testify, are a tidal wave of sonic battering, fusing many diverse influences & sounds - the equation of which would be a page long." - Get off the internet zine (we were interviewed for the current issue - get in touch if you want a copy).

"Slightly odd but very good" - The Loft, Cambridge

"Well, think a punk Janis Joplin ( with violin...)" River Bar, London

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 03/07/2005
Band Website: www.helenseviltwin.co.uk
Band Members:
Helen - Vocals & Guitar;
Sam - Bass & Vocals;
Taylor - Violin & Vocals;

Paul Till, Marie Tueje and Kellie Santin used to be in the band and are, therefore, on some of the recordings and photos.

Sometimes, we do stripped down shows with just Helen & Taylor. The last couple of tracks on our player should give you an idea of what that sounds like. Also, here's a video Marc Ali took at one of our acoustic gigs: Helen's Evil Twin @ Oxjam
