Space truckers Flights of Helios are trapped in a parallel world without their beloved, garrulous drummer JC. All around is mirage and mystery. Stopping in a deep-blue tiled bar for a settling libation, they meet a shamanic figure, a caravan of one, hauling his percussion trunk of wonders. A jam, you say? ... and the music flows like hookah smoke, enveloping all concerns. But will they ever find their way home? This is Flights of Helios at the Midnight Riyaz.

Flights of Helios have played Glastonbury, Wilderness and Truck festivals, and been played on BBC 6 Music by Steve Lamacq, Don Letts and Gideon Coe.

“An extraordinary live spectacle, the band present a hypnotic presence which draws the audience into their world.”
Oxford Mail

“Singer Chris Beard appears completely lost in the music… [his] absorption becomes absolute as he appears to almost conjure with his limbs and his committed performance reminds us of Twilight Sad’s James Graham or Nick Cave; it really is something to behold.”
Nightshift, Oxford's music magazine

“Sonic experimentation has become their trademark.”
