Helmet mainstay Page Hamilton will be hosting ‘Helmet Band Camp‘ at the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, NY from August 25th-29th. Writing sessions, production, song writing jam sessions with Helmet and more are all part of the package. You can find more details at this location. Hamilton himself said of the camp:
“Dear Helmet Faithful,
It’s been 25 years since I took out an ad in the Village Voice, formed Helmet & wrote my first Helmet song. I’m really excited to announce that in August of 2014 we will host the first ever Helmet Band Camp in Big Indian, NY with Music Masters Camps at Full Moon Resort!
I’ve really enjoyed conducting music/guitar master classes around the world from Tokyo to Brisbane, Los Angeles to Anchorage, Cleveland to Canberra but this camp will provide a unique opportunity for you to play with Helmet and get into how we write and arrange our songs.
We’ll have large seminars as well as small group classes for guitarists, singers, bass players & drummers to explore the Helmet chord vocabulary, learn about how we approach rhythm & grooves and develop musical ideas, i.e. writing and arranging your own music.
We’ll get into Helmet music theory 101 as I share my approach to playing solos & creating soundscapes for songs as well as the many movies I’ve played on.
Thank you for a great 25 years, I hope you can make it!
– Page Hamilton“
