Anyone have heard or owned the ''Postmodern Living''E.P of Helen Wheels?
I think she was a persona near the music and cultural style of both Patti Smith and Annete Peacock.Thanks.

Alls I know is that I got this nifty clear flexi disc thing of Helen Wheels, which I have not listened to. So I can't really help you. But I saw it and it looked unique so I picked it up. I'll have to dig it up and listen to it.

she was a CBGB attraction , as I recall, an off shoot of either The Dead Boys or The Dictators, it;s all foggy(but fabulous!!)
she was never a 'draw' but she had a following..

I just listened to the flexi disc I have, it's one song called "Carry My Own Weight." Very repetetive and rock oriented, she was apparently a fixture in the NY scene, but like toyah said, she probably wasn't much of a draw by herself.
