About Me


The Story:
Helicopter Helicopter was formed in Boston in the spring of 1998 by guitarists/vocalists Chris Zerby and Julie Chadwick. Naming the band after a game the two had played together at recess in elementary school, they signed with Lunch Records and began touring the U.S., quickly building a reputation for excellent songwriting, and developing a distinctive pop sound based on their intertwining male and female vocals.
The bands 2001 release By Starlight landed on the cmj charts and they hit the road for non-stop touring...leading the band to sign with Initial Records (Criteria, Boy Sets Fire, The Reputation, etc.). In May, 2003 Initial released the full-length Wild Dogs with X-Ray Eyes. The CD has garnered rave reviews from publications all across the country, including Alternative Press, Amplifier and the Boston Phoenix.
Helicopter helicopter has also been featured in many skate and BMX videos including AMPED, PROPS, ROADFOOLS, and acclaimed surf movie, PEEL - The Peru Project.
Helicopter helicopter is currently on hiatus with Chris Zerby and Julie Chadwick moving on to work on their new project HELLO DRAGON BUY "Wild Dogs with X-Ray Eyes" for only $10 now!
