Spelling Bee is a post-punk rock band that was formed a few years ago by Mabel Suen and Joseph Hess who worked together at a local radio station and were brought together by their mutual love of punk and experimental rock. They have been making music together ever since. This summer they have been touring all around the country to support their recently released debut CD Sweet Dreams, Strange Animal. You can purchase it online at the band’s website and you have to hear just how crazy and unique this band sounds. It is a collection of nine songs, each one more intriguing than the last. Suen and Hess have taken experimental rock to the extreme with their music. On many of their songs it’s hard to believe that it’s only two people making all that noise. But incredibly, it really is just the two of them, banging and thrashing on their respective instruments. Spelling Bee is a talented band that you should check out while you have the opportunity. Who knows when the next time they will be in the area again will be. So come on out to Pat’s in the Flats for this once in a lifetime show. You will have the chance to hear some great rock music and you won’t be disappointed.
