Last Friday, Nelly Furtado introduces her Fritz Helder & The Phantoms at the group’s CD release party at Mr. Black in New York City. The album, named “Greatest Hits! Platinum Edition,” is released on Nelly Furtado’s new Nelstar record label.
Hosted and introduced by Nelly Furtado, Toronto-based Fritz Helder & the Phantoms - comprised of lead singer Fritz Helder, sporting a Dorothy Hamill haircut, keyboardist Diego Superstar and his exaggerated eyelashes, the fabulous Pastel Supernova and guitarist Silk Helder - put on a raucous set of 11 songs. Right off the bat, you can’t deny their comparison to the Black Eyed Peas simply because of the make-up of their band members (3 multi-ethnic guys and a hot girl). But these guys really have their own thing going on. Loved their style, music, and syncopated moves.
