The Halo Benders are a band formed in 1994 as a side project by Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening and Doug Martsch of Built to Spill. They released their first album, called God Don’t Make No Junk, in 1994. They followed up in 1996 with Don’t Tell Me Now and in 1998 with The Rebels Not In.
All three of the band’s albums were released on Johnson’s influential Olympia record label, K Records.
Following a hiatus through the early 2000’s, the Halo Benders reformed in March 2007 for a pair of shows at the Visual Arts Collective in Boise, ID. The band featured Doug Martsch, Ralf Youtz, Calvin Johnson, and Brett Netson.
The Halo Benders’ music is characterised by untraditional sounds, movements, and song structures. Additionally, the vocals of the baritone Johnson and the pitchy Martsch overlap often, even though often entirely unrelated. Johnson has said that the two write lyrics for songs largely independently.

Your Asterisk is their best song with its wonderful lyrics, perfect tempo and Marsch's background guitar notes flying in all directions. I have to admit that few of their songs are as good as this one, but a some are, for example Rebels Got a Hole in It. I put that one on almost every time I was making out with a girl (back in the days). It is worth having that song on any let's make out/have sex-playlist. You will be rewarded in both sex and indie-cred.

I actually never saw that highway patrol video until like, two weeks ago when someone on /mu/ linked me to it. So fucking lovely, such a lovely band. I'd love it if they'd do another album, or just another reunion tour. I'd go fuckin well out of my way to see them live.
