Details:
It has been a long time since that life-changing day when Deena Kamm, the voice and alter ego of Unruly Helga, decided to “do her own thing.” It may not have been one specific day, or moment, or anything else that you can put your finger on. It was more likely a lifetime of moments that lead to a clear decision that enough was enough. She found her voice and was prepared to step up and use it.
“It’s all about substance. It’s all about knowing who you are. It’s all about remaining true to those things.”
It would be years before Deena even stepped foot into her first solo recording session. Splitting from her best friend''s band and turning down offer after offer to join others would lead her to something more significant than she ever imagined; her own band, her own music, her own voice.
But that’s boring now. It’s water under the bridge and seems like a lifetime ago to Deena and her cohorts, Deb Buchanan (guitar), YT (Bass), and Scott Mundy (drums). These days it’s about writing songs, playing music, and just generally rocking indie style. You may be searching to read about the sensational stuff like fights, drugs, and a revolving door of band members. That’s not this band. That’s not the Unruly Helga story.
This is a story about perseverance and tenacity. It’s about knowing what you want and not letting anybody change that. This is about expressing yourself for no other reason then it feels right, and that shouldn’t be controlled by an industry of people who need to chew you up and spit you out to make money. It’s about playing music.
So… the music. After 8 years of playing, performing, and making music with the same four musicians, a day in the life of Unruly Helga is pretty damn gratifying. Nope – no platinum selling albums… yet. And no million dollar music videos. And no big fancy recording contracts… still. But all that can be simply explained by the mere fact that Deena is a bit of a pain in the ass, and may be too specific for her own good... or not. Hunting down record company offers is yesterday’s news. Her idea of success is not measured in monetary figures, but in the intensity of music created without the mainstream iron fist that kills the art in the artist.
So rip it, burn it, download it, you may even be as bold as to purchase it. However you do it – please enjoy the music. Let’s try to get back to a time of actually listening and forming opinions, and letting yourself - ALLOWING yourself - to think… for yourself. From one voice of a broken generation to another – good luck in this fucked up world.
