lyrics

"Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?"
Half asleep in the classroom, these words caught my eye
Sweet music to a boy, Helen of Troy

Born to king Zeus, the Godhead cowboy
Trained with the Spartans, fought like a boy
The most beautiful woman, Helen of Troy

Beautiful Helen, so young and so raw
Abducted by Paris, Crown Prince of Troy
The loneliest woman, the Trojan War

Helen of Troy

about

Cherryweather SA, Australia

I'm a Melbourne based songwriter. The guitars and vocals are mine, the rest are midi instruments. I record and produce my music at home...I've released 20 albums on bandcamp which you'll find in the discography.
The music is basically Indie pop/rock but with lots of rock, blues and dreampop cross pollination. I hope you like them.
I'm indebted to *80s and 90s Australian and New Zealand indie pop ... more
