About The Helicopters

The Helicopters were a South African pop-rock/new wave band active in the 1980s. They formed in 1981 in Vereeniging and were stylistically similar to the New Wave bands Duran Duran and A Flock of Seagulls. Benjy Mudie signed the group to Warner Bros. Records in 1984, where they released one album and several singles; in 1987 they moved to Epic and released a second full-length before disbanding. The band scored several hit singles in South Africa, including "Mysteries and Jealousy"; "Whisper Your Secret"; and "Western Skies". The group was a popular concert draw, able to fill stadiums in its home country. After the band's breakup, lead singer Bernard Binns moved to England, where he has released several solo albums CDs available from Subterania: http://goo.gl/bBRDkf As well as FreshMusic: http://goo.gl/tjcKjN
