Introduction '''The Helicopters''' were a South African pop rock band active in the 1980s. They formed in 1981 in Vereeniging and were stylistically similar to the new wave bands Duran Duran and A Flock of Seagulls. Benjy Mudie signed the group to Warner Bros. Records in 1984, where they released one album and several singles; in 1987 they moved to Epic and released a second full-length before disbanding. The band scored several hit singles in South Africa, including "Mysteries and Jealousy". The group was a popular concert draw, able to fill stadiums in its home country.After the band's breakup, lead singer Bernard Binns moved to England, where he has released several solo albums.
