Starving in Seattle: The Helio Sequence

I love duos. Some of my favorite bands are The White Stripes and The Black Keys. There is something about two people being able to make such a huge sound with only two instrument. The Helio Sequence is one such band.
Formed in 1999 in Oregon, they have risen to a respected status amongst Northwestern musicians. Comprised of Brandon Summers on guitars and vocals and former Modest Mouse drummer Benjamin Weikel. The Helio Sequence gives us a vastly diverse repertoire of sweet tasting music, ranging from straight up folk to rocking synthy wonderful.

This band is really great and like i said, they make a huge sound for just two guys.
On a side note, the drummer, Benjamin Weikel, is one of the best drummers the Northwest has, if you ever watch a video of them playing or go to a show, you will be blown away by how much he gets into the music. Its actually really amusing.

The bottom line is, the Helio Sequence is a great band so if they come to an area near you, don't hesitate to go check them out.
