Babyshambles’ Drew McConnell performed his first gig with his new project, Helsinki, in London last night (March 13).
The bassist, sporting an acoustic guitar, fronted the five-piece band supporting Kid Harpoon at Camden's Dingwalls venue.
As well as playing a selection of new songs, including an instrumental post-rock-influenced number, McConnell performed a jazz version of Babyshambles’ 'Delivery'.
Helsinki[/a] also covered Manu Chao’s [b]'Lagrimas De Oro' during the set, which saw him start off solo before being joined by the band on the second song.
Before the first track, McConnell told the crowd: "If any more of my friends get arrested, I’m leaving the country."
Helsinki are set to support Kid Harpoon again at his show at Brighton’s Pressure Point on March 15.
