Nick Helm is to release the monumental live show filmed in 2016 at the 02 Forum Kentish Town that launched his second studio album, Nick Helm is Fucking Amazing.
Under-rehearsed, under-prepared and under pressure, Nick and his band somehow managed to pull together the greatest show in the last 27 years of living memory (or maybe that should be his living memory).
Four years on producers Go Faster Stripe have finally been able to review the footage and discover that not only is the concert not as bad as they remembered, it is very possibly the biggest achievement by anyone who's ever worked in Live Ents.
Nick Helm’s All Killer, Some Filler includes over 90 minutes of absolute bangers, featuring songs from his entire career, including all live performances*, both his albums**, and the TV shows Heavy Entertainment, Live at the Electric*** and Uncle****. Plus there’s extra-special appearances from extra-special guest stars Rachel Parris (joining Nick for a duet) and David Trent (co-fronting one of the hottest bands in Europe, The Helmettes). The result is, in the words of the press release, "an evening of LIVE***** entertainment."
Preceding the digital release of the concert on May 31st, Helm will be sitting down at 8pm on Saturday 30th May to introduce the show and watch along with anyone who pre-orders it, before embarking on a NO-holds-barred****** Q&A after it’s finished.
What you see in front of you is not just a recording of a live concert performed by a Master Craftsman™ and his ragtag group of session musicians and lovers, but an awe-inspiring historic document of what can be achieved when you truly Believe In Yourself™*******. This is Humankind’s blueprint for the future. This is Helm********.
