After Geannie Friedman played in a hardcore band called Kite Flying Society in Florida in the early 2000’s, and leading twee-pop bands Saving Twilight, The Weak Ends, and the Wonderers; Semihelix was formed in 2012 in Austin, TX. They’re dream pop/jangle pop/ psych 90’s fuzz and delay, with melodic yet loud sounds including influences of The Kinks, Black Tambourine, Sebadoh, Black Tambourine, and Sonic Youth. The songs speak of love, resilience, overcoming hard times, systematic oppression, living in the present moment, acceptance, and gratitude. “Shimmering, lush indie rock landscapes once similarly tread by Mazzy Star, Velocity Girl and Kimya Dawson”-Ghettoblaster Magazine. The band started with Geannie Friedman solo, using drums beats, keyboards for bass, and singing while playing guitar. There were several lineup changes throughout the years, and it is now Geannie Friedman on guitar and vocals, Mike Cota on bass, and Valdemar Barrera on drums and vocals.
