Henry Maxwell Gibson

Portlan­­d’s HELLO ELECTRIC is minimal electronic 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 electronic beats and pushes the low end with dark keys and thick synths.  Unity 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 because of the amount of patience involved…” explains Ohnstad.

The band’s next venture, DEAD CHAMPION EP, will be a limited 10” record release on October 25^th.  HELLO ELECTRIC establishes further their matchless sound with a well accomplished professionalism.

Having toured in both Europe and the USA, they’re set to hit the road again this Fall, with tour dates coming soon.
