The Mummers (a.k.a. The Helium Kids) perform XTC's 'Life Begins as the Hop' at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA on January 18th, 1995.
This clip demonstrates the danger of inviting the audience on stage as witnessed by Brian's awesome unplugged guitar solo.
Band Members: Brian Poole (The Late B. P. Helium, Of Montreal, Elf Power) - guitar and vocals, Doug Stanley (The Glands, Love Tractor) - guitar and vocals, Mike Gerfen (Labrea Stompers, Go Figures) - bass, John Crist (Dashboard Saviors, Bell Weather, Missing Numbers) - drums and vocals.
Love the dude with the shield on stage!

a.k.a Hellium Kidz? That is the original name of Andy and Colin's first band.
