Local metal band Heliana to play Higgins Hall; hosts list lineup and $5 admission

Heliana, a metal band that appeared on the English Rats broadcast, promoted a concert the program said will start at 7 p.m. at Higgins Hall (the Boys and Girls Club). During the show, host and band member Dustin Fugere said the gig would be "tomorrow night, Saturday, June 2," and later the program repeated a date described as "May second at 07:00," an inconsistency the broadcast did not resolve.

Why it matters: The event is a local live-music show featuring several area acts; details such as date, venue name and ticket price are the practical information potential attendees need. The program included a lineup, local directions and references to demo recordings that organizers said are already online.

Fugere, who introduced himself on the broadcast as Dustin Fugere, said the flyer shown on screen "is advertising the band, Heliana. We are going to be playing tomorrow night. Tomorrow night, Saturday, June 2." He told viewers the show would begin "at 07:00 and it will be $5," adding later that the venue is commonly called Higgins Hall and is the Boys and Girls Club.

The broadcast listed support acts as Recreation Day, Fades to Grey and Hello Newman. Fugere also said the band had demo recordings online at a MySpace page called "heliana metal." He referred to guitar player Rick Robbins and identified "Dylan" as the band's lead vocalist, and he told listeners Dylan "will actually be wearing a panda costume" and that Dylan had "promises that he will give everyone $30 that shows up." Those remarks were made on-air and attributed to Fugere during the segment.

The show offered informal directions to the venue, describing Higgins Hall as "right across from Oakton... right by Big Dipper... right near Hellgate High School" and saying listeners should "look for the place with the limos" and an ice-cream shop. The broadcast did not supply a street address or ticketing contact.

The program also noted practical details about the band's recordings: Fugere said some demo tracks exist without vocals except for the song "Crystal," and he directed listeners to the MySpace page for samples.

Because the on-air hosts gave two different calendar dates during the program and no ticket vendor or organizer contact was provided, potential attendees should treat the date as not fully confirmed and seek direct confirmation from the band or venue before making plans.

The broadcast included other informal material and callers; this article covers only the concert promotion and related logistics announced on air.
