The
Hellblinki Sextet... Broken tooth blues in a Tux, Choral fantasies for
agnostic angels, peg-leg waltzes on the rim of Mt. Vesuvius, The
Hellblinki Sextet is prone to suprises, tension, and dramatic release.
Dark and experimental, yet almost nearly sane as well, Hellblinki
combines elements of American folk, European cabaret, and punk rock
experimentation into an intoxicating brew of transcendent madness...
____
Odd, demented, bizarre, yet ultimately fun and intriguing, The
Hellblinki Sextet creates a world from found sound, pirate songs, dirty
south blues, and experimental free jazz....
____
"if hell had a house band this would be it."
-Andy Stokes
____
"This band is the dark aristocrat of the underground movement that is
occurring in our time. Regardless of its following and/or public
success, it is a notable experience that makes me remember the feeling
I get from listening to something that urges me to dream..."
____
"I
was at your show this past weekend, and have to say that of all the
shows I've been to in my life, your's was the most memorable...
All I could do was sit in the floor transfixed like a kid in a library for storytime."
-Calhoun
____
Hellblinki
spawned full grown from the forehead of Shiva and represents the whole
of the universe, laid out backwards in coffee stains on the
passenger-side front floor mat of an olive green '68 Plymouth Fury, or
perhaps in some other twisted dimension was born of a series of
experamental recordings that slowly and painfully became the first
record, and then, just before the turn of the century morphed into a
live show, which in one form or another continues to this very day!
____
"WOW!
Bizarre and macabre, this recording has it all. Super dark doom and
gloom. Has a sadistic twinge to it. If you get the chance, go their
artist page, and then click the link to go their website. They have an
awesome flash page which has an interactive and freaky interface that
blends some of their music together. Truly unique!"

"Hulloe, I recieved my copy of the self-titled debut and a t-shirt
awhile back and i never got around to thanking you for the speedy
delivery. The album itself is amazing, I'm quite enthralled by it's
epic
perversity/brilliance. And thank you also for the live cdr that you
included. I listen to it almost as much as the album, it's a
frustrating reminder of what I'd have to travel all the way across the
country to experience. Keep up the startlingly creative work. Your
terminal fan,"

"...I also was particularly stunned recently by 'False Document' by the
Hellblinki Sextet out of Augusta, Ga. - total waves of ripping
ambience mixed with circus music coming from around the block while you
are falling asleep on the sidewalk under a light rain. I
can't even say enough things about their website - truly the best
flash work I have ever seen..."
____
"hello, I heard rumours of a new album coming out soon? How is it
coming along? Will I be able to pre-order a copy? I'm going crazy with
anticipation! Thanks for your time"
-Michal Dinn
____
"I listened to the cd and i cried."
-Mckenna
