Talkdemonic opened the night showing off the band’s new line up having added two more members. they’ve certainly come a long way since we last talked about them: http://addicted2shows.com/2011/07/05/sasquatch-through-the-lens-of-dave/#more-2834. The added bassist and keyboardist created a much more full sound that Lisa Molinaro could lay her viola melodies over and it was those moments that the show really took off.
Helio Sequence, hailing from Beaverton Oregon, threw down an incredible set at the Neptune Sunday night bringing their recent tour to a close. Both Helio Sequence and Talkdemonic have drummers that are way too much fun to watch. Weikel’s facial expressions while drumming changed almost as quickly as his complex rythms. The appropriately named Harmonica Song definitely got the crowd going with Summers busted out his harmonica over Weikel’s beats.
As the show was coming to a close we were treated to a surprise collaboration of Helio Sequence and Shabazz Palaces who had been touring with them for the grand majority of the time. (Both groups signed to Subpop)
