INTERVIEW

GothicVogue/www.leroyroper.com

1.WHO ARE THE CURRENT MEMBERS OF YOUR BAND?
We have two new live-sessions now but they aren't involved in the musical/visual conception/promotional thing.

2.HOW AND WHEN DID THESE CREATIVE FORCES COME TOGETHER?
Well, if with "creative forces" you're meaning us, then thank you very much, eheh...
We started to play together in 2002 in our previous band called The Claw. We performed a mixture of Nu and Goth Metal, before we felt
a stronger necessity to pour out our most inner, true and high creativity in what Helalyn Flowers became then.
To be honest, none of both us remember the exact way in which we joined each other concerning the creative thing. we think it was a
natural step of our personal bond and reciprocal esteem... And awareness of our capacities for sure!

3.HOW COULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND?
We think it's always difficult for anyone who really makes his own to "fix" it with something still like a word or a term it is.
We coined the definition "Nu-Electro Rock" that, to us, holds different components of the genres that in some way we believe influenced
us. Electronic, Rock, Metal, Dark/Goth, Industrial,Synth Pop, Future Pop, Trip-Hop are the genres that we usually listen more to and we believe
they represent an influence for us. But not an inspiration.

4.DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC INFLUENCES?
Music apart, we think our biggest influence come from the disorder in our minds, from the alienation caused by the place in which
we live, from dissociation, from our focus on our subjective reality, from our rebellion... We don't deal with politics, social themes or
religion 'coz simply we don't care. we are really into ourselves. And we think our sound feels this.

5.WHAT WOULD YOU HOPE THAT THE LISTENER WOULD GET FROM YOUR MUSIC?
Just a long, intense and erotic thrill along his/her back and inside his/her head!

6.DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE A CD OR CDS AVAILABLE?
Actually we have available our debut EP "Disconnection". And now we're coming out with our new CDS "E-Race Generation" (which is
available now through the web, however).

7.HOW CAN YOUR AUDIENCE GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR MUSIC?
Through cdbaby.com or our official web corners that are our official site (www.helalynflowers.com) and myspace profile
(www.myspace.com/helalynflowers).

8.ARE THERE ANY FUTURE PROJECTS IN THE WORKS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE OUR READERSHIP TO KNOW ABOUT?
Well, first of all we would like to inform your lovely readers that very soon our new CDS "E-Race Generation" will be "physically"
available, since by now you can listen to them only through the web.
Then we are planning some new live dates in Italy and maybe Germany and UK together with our friends Adam (look out!) and going to make
some new cool merchandise (pins, posters, t-shirts, stickers and calendar too!).
In the whiletime we are currently working on our debut-album in our private studios. Stay fuckin'tuned!

9.AND, FINALLY, WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR THE FUTURE?
No hopes, just abandone ourselves in the beauty of casuality!
