Potholes and self esteem s*cks

Commitment to rock hard, at the cost of anything, but below a certain "hurdle" level - which is set at the point of losing face as a result of  extreme foolhardy behavior is what we believe in. We all are burdened by our required daily bread. We all have duties, responsibilities and commitments to satisfy. We all need some sort of a get-away. Some of us also need to express ourselves in a way, somewhat of a Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde based on day-time roles and after-such-commitment-roles. A sanctuary of serenity in a form of happiness or effort one desires in terms of one's measure of such a need.

We chose to play our part as a rock n roll band to escape from the nagging cell-phone calls from clients, the nuisance of meeting corporate deadlines to produce analytical reports (Yes! This is our day-time face!). The band HELTER SKELTER was in definition a five-force theory of a dual-face duty we have to play in life (and we're not talking about the "two-faced-bastard" context material, but simply about the many roles we undertake in life minimized to just two!). We worked hard during the day for a company who duly provides for our daily requirements and we rocked after hours in a rocking band to escape into a moment of talent spree.

This is what we all believed in.
Sad to know that some couldn't live with it.

Steffen had commitment problems. Eg; he hid in his office many many times when we arrived to pick him up and go to practice together.
Shameen had weird problems. Eg; he had to quit the band to study cause he couldn't concentrate otherwise :@

The above two have taken leave from HELTER SKELTER, the former was dismissed and the latter took his resignation. It's sad in many ways than one. We will miss them dearly. No matter what crap they gave us during the latter-part.

BUT - HELTER SKELTER is fighting hard and we are still in action. Joseph, Riyal and Birendra will continue to rock hard at whatever the cost (as explained above) as we are in the band for the love of chilling out while utilizing our talents by projecting it into the medium of rock n roll music. We are not in the band because we need it to survive or we die. We are in the band BECAUSE we enjoy spending that extra effort for it. To rock hard. We don't mind allocating some money to practice even if it means to play for a free gig.

HELTER SKELTER will CONTINUE on rocking hard and rocking on. We will feature as many artists as we desire to facilitate gigs with many themes. And we will continue to hunt for a new voice and new 2nd guitar-man. Let's Rock!


For those about to rock, we salute you!
