Biography

So... where to begin?

One day, Tool and Alice in Chains were involved in a love triangle in Trent Reznor's studio. Their first born, Blue Helix, was then abused, disowned, discarded, and was later fathered by Radiohead.

Sami Chohfi began writing music at the age of 16. After his projects with various musicians over a span of 10 years, finally found Miguel MacCormack and only four months later, Arman Birang. Many auditions later, Wolf Gebhardt joined the band as the permanent bassist. Blue Helix originally began having a very northwest rock sound - with heavy powerful riffs, dark melodies, and eerie overtones. With the new addition of the current members, the band has evolved their heavy, powerful music with instruments like the electric sitar, didgeridoo, xylophone, and digital percussion.

The music Blue Helix creates has only one standard, one rule; to portray powerful and genuine emotion in the studio and more so, on stage. The ultimate goal of the band is to tour the many states and countries of the earth reaching as many people as possible to share that unspeakable connection that only an artist and a listener can have. We are awaiting to see where the magic carpet takes them next...

More Info:

All Artists are encouraged to continue getting site plays and ratings throughout the year, as they count towards general site rankings, and additional wild card prizing opportunities. Regional Battles and National Finale may have a wild card selection added by the judges. Not every battle will include a wild card selection. Wild cards are chosen at the judges' discretion in order to balance competition format when spots are available, and to offer additional prizing opportunities to competing artists.

Additionally, check out the Elfenworks Social Justice Category for a cash prizing opportunity, and a great cause at www.collegebattleofthebands.com/elfenworks.

All rules and prizing are subject to be updated and may change throughout the year. Please check back here periodically.


*Selection: The cut-off date for contest entry and online votes is one weeks (7 days) prior to the Local Battle, unless specially-noted for that individual area. So for example, if your Local Battle is on a Saturday, the deadline to submit is one Saturday prior, as the clock hits midnight at the end of that night. For the online metrics, current site 'plays' are weighted heavier, and 'ratings' are used as a secondary metric. All plays and ratings are counted at the submission deadline, unless artists are notified of a voting extension in their region. All votes are subject to qualification and review, to ensure legitimate voting. For the judge selections, music industry professionals along with the show producers choose two or more artists to compete in each Local Battle, for a total of three (or four) artists competing at each Local Battle. Selected finalists will be announced at least 3 days prior to the Local Battle.
