It was back in the mid-90s, on the irreverant US adult cartoon Bevis and Butthead that I first encountered Helmet. The song was “Wilma’s Rainbow” and I was hooked.
The eponymous hosts were commenting on how ordinary the band members looked, and that if you saw them walking down the street, you wouldn’t realise how cool they were. Cos they’re in a band.
Ladies and gentlemen – and Betty… and Wilma – Helmet live at Silver Cord Studio, New York in March 2025.
