Another terrific show and very cool scene last night at the Tower Theatre as Portland’s The Helio Sequence came to town, thanks to the PDXchange Program. Locals the Empty Space Orchestra opened (in matching suits!) and no doubt earned some new fans, and ESO drummer Lindsey Elias reappeared at the end of Helio’s main set and joined them for a twin-drum-attack version of “Harmonica Song.”
The Helio Sequence, in my opinion, is one of Portland’s very best and most underrated bands, and I’ll tell you why when I review the show in next week’s GO! Magazine, so be sure to keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, check out four — count ‘em, four — songs I caught on video. (The one with Lindsey is up first.)
