Tuesday! Chrome special with Helios Creed on the Brian Turner Show! LIVE STREAM for everyone: Tuesday, Nov. 4th, 3pm-6pm EST When guitarist Helios Creed met up with Damon Edge and joined the San Francisco band Chrome in 1977, the world got an acid-fried, dystopian sci-fi version of the Stooges that blasted out two records that no other band has come near capturing the warped genius of. Alien Soundtracks and Half Machine Lip Moves utilized a Hendrix kind of freeform aesthetic mixed with tapes, feedback, metal percussion and cutup soundscapes all heightening the bands projections of a world of abusive technology and zombie warfare. They later became probably the most unheralded cornerstone of 80s industrial music, and in the new millenium, scores of garage punks are hanging up everything they know and following Helios Creeds moves more than ever. With Damon having passed away in 2005, Creed (who has had a long solo career since 1985) now rechristens Chrome and has released the new album Feel It Like A Scientist. Brian talks at length today with Helios and gets the lowdown on the past and present of this incredible and unique psychedelic punk band. (wfmu.org)
