PORTLAND’S HELLO ELECTRIC SETS DEAD CHAMPION EP FOR OCTOBER 25 RELEASE

BAND EMBARKS ON WEST COAST TOUR IN OCTOBER

FEATURED TRACK » “Introduction” MP3 / SOUNDCLOUD

Portland’s HELLO ELECTRIC is minimal rock with a dash of power shine. Kirk Ohnstad, Henry Gibson, and Zachary Bendt are known for their dynamic live shows, which are centered on depth, intensity, and simplicity. Each member has a distinctive role, although they all have the same roots: the drum set. Rhythm is essential to HELLO ELECTRIC. Their live show combines real drums with electronics and pushes the low end with dark keys and thick synths. This takes shape with gritty guitar leads flourishing the heavy bass-driven backbone.

“I am inspired by minimalism, open sounds and emptiness. It’s a difficult place to be,” says Ohnstad.

The band’s next venture, Dead Champion EP, will be released on October 25th. HELLO ELECTRIC is set to hit the road again this Fall.
