Helium Horse Fly

Line-up: Marie Billy [vocals/keyboards] Stéphane Dupont [guitar/vocals/keyboards] Dimitri Iannello [bass] Gil Chevigné [drums] Experimental rock, venomous noise music, progressive baroque hardcore, putting a label on this unusual band is no easy task. A crossroads that brings together diametrically opposed worlds and bridges the gap between extremes, led by a female voice at a cross between incantation and lyricism, Helium Horse Fly offers a musical journey that oscillates between tense breathing spells and cathartic violence. Biography.
