Get Help began as a songwriting project based in New York, comprised primarily of Tony from Boston’s beloved The Beatings, and Mike from NYC’s beloved Strikes Again! We collaborate over the internet, using the latest in typewriter, rotary phone, and semaphore technology. Our best work is done while unconscious from fumes.
In October 2008, we came to and released The End of the New Country, our debut full-length, on Midriff Records. We have some more info about that posted here. We will be at Liberty and Union Recording Studio in February and March 2010 recording our second album.
This web log is a repository for our demos, outtakes, home recordings, random thoughts, etc. All of the MP3s here are free for download. We have also posted them in a podcast for easy collection.
Since its inception, Get Help has undergone numerous live configurations, performing as an acoustic guitar/sample pedal duo, and as a formidable quartet with Will and Dan from the Spanish Armada. Get Help’s most recent additions have been our most triumphant: the tireless Gene D’Avolio on drums, and superhero crimefighter John Van Atta on bass. We perform live regularly, and when we have shows scheduled we will be sure to post them on our blog as far in advance as possible, and bribe as many people as we can to attend them.
We can also be found lurking about on the internet:
