I went, I saw, I was amazed. First off after a not so restful weekend I actually toyed with the idea of not going. Going to bed early really was looking inviting BUT I knew if I didn't go I would be beating myself up for weeks. So I leave Connecticut a bit later than I wanted to. The drive wasn't bad, no traffic etc. Got to the venue with about 10 min to spare. The band was amazing...just two guys. They sounded phenomenal. I ended up watching the drummer alot, he's very good. I guess I'm sort of drawn to drummers since my father was one. I always like to look at their facial expressions etc.
Basically an amazing show, and if there are no issues that come up, my ass will be in Northamton, Mass on the 23rd to see them again.
If anyone has a chance to see these guys, GO! draft

The Helio Sequence
Nothing is more exciting to me than finding a new (in this case not so new) band.
I'm pretty new to the Indie/college scene so the last three years have just been very exciting. Thanks to Sirius Left of Center and my friend Mark - I've found new artists that are great and its very refreshing to finally after years and years have something new and good! STOP EVERYTHING.................The Helio Sequence...HOLY FUCK. That is all I'm saying. Have to give props to Left of Center - I had heard a track called "Keep Your Eyes Ahead". I kept hearing it, enough to where The Helio Sequence was scribbled on several yellow sticky notes in the bottom of my purse to look into, download, find whatever. I bought the album on Itunes last week, its not left my car, my computer at work, etc. I have shared it with two people so far.
I can't get enough. Track 2 - "Can't Say No" is great but then Track 3 comes in and that is great. I have to admit though, Track 6 - Title track of the Album "Keep Your Eyes Ahead" I have listened to that over and over again to where I think something might be wrong with me. I absolutely love finding a new artist/band that makes this much of an impression. Luckily I live in the NE and it just so happens they are playing in Hoboken, NJ on 5-18 and some place in Massachusetts 5-23 and because I'm the way I am....I'M GOING TO BOTH SHOWS and I'm so excited I'm about to explode.
So there is my music tidbit for the week. Listen to this CD IMMEDIATELY. And I also have to thank this band because if it weren't for them Vampire Weekend would still be in my cd player.
