After Much Anticipation...
November 20, 2008
After much anticipation, Helena Handbasket made it's return to playing full shows with a performance at the Silver Dollar in Elizabeth, Minnesota. The bar is truly one of the best kept secrets in west central Minnesota! The town claims a population of 187, but there were at least twice as many people at the Silver Dollar that night! Anyhow, Helena Handbasket made it's reintroduction to the scene a big one as the crowd danced and partied all night to the rockin' sounds of ska, punk, and rock.
This marked the start of Helena Handbasket as it transitions from Patents Pending into it's new identity. Work has begun to promote the new group in the Fargo-Moorhead area, and you can expect to see and hear Helena Handbasket at a venue near you soon...
