It’s not every day you find yourself standing on a street corner trying to give away an unexpected extra ticket given to you by Brandon Summers.
The evening’s headliners, Helio Sequence, and their current traveling companions, Talkdemonic (both from Portland), held court with local favorites Franklin for Short and The Coral Sea.
Without straying too far from the formula of atmospheric indie rock that has given them their distinctive sound, the pair have managed to record an album that sounds fresh and ranks among some of their best work so far.
Summers blew into his mouth harp like he was playing some kind of strange blues rock song, and he did so with so much momentum and energy that it didn't really fit neatly into any kind of rock subgenre.
