Helmet frontman/guitarist Page Hamilton has been spending his time with his fingers in various pies lately. At the forefront of his current slate is work on the next Helmet album. You’ll also be able to hear his work in the score of the upcoming film “Convergence“, which will open in select theaters on February 05th as well as be released through iTunes, etc. on February 02nd. Speaking with Alternativenation.net regarding his time with David Bowie and more, he said of his current plans:
“Still tracking a few more songs for this album. There are few parts – I didn’t like the way they turned out so I’m going to redo them. I’m also in lyric mode working on a ton of writing there. I then start with this super cool group from Nashville called the Dead Deads. It’s kind of like power-pop-punk.
I think they are going to tour with Cheap Trick. So I have that in few weeks then I’ll be up in Oregon to go around to some schools and teach guitar camp. I also have this group I play with in New York City and we have a few songs to finish as well. So I’ll have this big pile of music to be released hopefully in the fall. Then I have this short I did with Drew [Hall, director] that’s really cool. The movie is still in the development phases so we’re hoping it gets picked up.”
As for live plans, the band still have a lone appearance at the ‘Chicago Open Air Festival‘ in Bridgeview, IL booked for July 16th.
