Helio Sequence (formed in 1999) is an American alternative and indie rock duo, known for their DIY recording approach and ambient experimentation, the pair hail from Beaverton, Oregon, U.S.
Formed of Beaverton vocalist, guitarist and producer Brandon Summers alongside drummer, keyboard player and producer Benjamin Weikel, Helio Sequence made their performance debut in 1999 at the Mount Tabor Theater in Portland, Oregon, U.S. The EP “Accelerated Slow Motion Cinema”, the duo’s debut, arrived in 1999, highlighting the band’s DIY recording process and often elaborate sonic excursions. The full-length debut “Com Plex” was released in 2000 featuring the Beatles cover “Tomorrow Never Knows”, and earning positive reviews from the musical press.
A year later in October 2001, Helio Sequence’s sophomore album “Young Effectuals” was released featuring the heavily textured and layered use of synthesisers, vocals, keyboards, and guitars. Following “Young Effectuals” the band departed the Portland-based Cavity Records, which had released two of their records, and moved to the revered Sub Pop label. Helio Sequence’s new label debut “Love and Distance”, packed a vocal punch that proved too much for Summers to handle, with the singer damaging his vocal chords on the supporting tour. The pair’s subsequent album “Keep Your Eyes Ahead”, issued in 2008, represents a change in delivery following Summers relearning how to sing, however remained popular among critics.
In 2009 Weikel contributed drums to Modest Mouse’s platinum-selling “Good News for People Who Love Bad News”, before Helio Sequence released the split 7” “Heliomena” with Menomena in 2010. Following a flood to their practice and recording space in Portland, the pair moved to a disused industrial building which became highly influential in crafting their fifth full-length “Negotiations” in 2012.
Leia maisIf we were handing out prizes for best drumming face, Ben Weikel would be recording his acceptance speech in his Beavertown, Oregon apartment right about now. But that’s the intensity for which The Helio Sequence are internationally renowned.
In the game since 1999, drummer Ben and guitarist Brandon Summers have toured their five records the world over, leaving ears ringing and limbs sweating in their wake. The evolution of The Helio Sequence over the last two decades has been a pretty incredible journey. After damaging his vocal chords in the mid-noughties, Summers had to relearn to sing from scratch - no mean feat, not least in adapting the band’s trademark sound to comply with these new limitations.
There’s certainly no place to hide in a two-piece rock outfit! Indeed, it’s testament to the duo’s workmanlike spirit and professionalism that The Helio Sequence persevered, and the quality of subsequent records live performances remained sky high. Case in point: check out the band’s incredible KEXP session in 2012, saturated with energy, soaring vocals and trademark psychedelic guitar patterns. World tours with Keane and Menomena followed, and signed to indie label giant Sub Pop, the only way (still!) is up for this awesome rock duo from the Pacific North West.
My favorite song last night- The Harmonica Song
The night was best summed up with one exchange I had with this drunk guy who came up to the front near the stage, probably 2/3 of the way into the show. He was dancing, clearly loving it (as we all were) and then he stops dancing, turns in my direction with this look of utter awe and says (slurs might be a better word), "There's only 2 guys!?!?! Holy shit!!!" I nodded my agreement. It is amazing the sound that just these 2 dudes can make. This was my second THS show and it was amazing. I even got a high five from Benjamin after the show. Nice guys and fantastic musicians!
The Helio Sequence packed their dynamic 45 minute set with favorites like "Battle Lines", "October", "Harmonica Song", "Red Shifting", "Never Going Back", "Can't Say No", "Back To This", and "Hallelujah". Despite the short set, they are a headliner band capable of putting on an hour and a half plus top-notch show. It was fun watching people in the audience at their first THS show enjoying jaw-dropping drummer Benjamin Weikel do his thing! THS continues their journey as one of the most exciting and innovative indie rock bands of our time. They are a MUST SEE!
The sound at the venue wasn't great. The guitars were too low in the mix so the set didn't have a great "live" feel to it as it was last year at the Chapel.
