Benjamin Weikel

Benjamin Weikel grew up in Beaverton, Oregon, where he worked at the local music store with Brandon Summers.

As well as playing drums and keyboard for The Helio Sequence, and taking part in production, Weikel also recorded with the band Modest Mouse, drumming on their platinum-selling record Good News for People Who Love Bad News, and later their record No One’s First, and You’re Next in 2009. This led to the The Helio Sequence and Modest Mouse touring together at one point.

He also recorded with Ramona Falls for their 2009 album Intuit.
