There are at least three bands named "Husky".
1) Polish electronica-downtempo duo consisting of Patrycja Hefczynska (vocalist/writer) and Jacek Dojwa (composer/producer). Their music is influenced by such artists as
Björk,
Craig Armstrong,
Amon Tobin,
Telefon Tel Aviv,
Portishead and
Lamb. They released two LP's: "Czy słyszysz?" (eng.
Do you hear) in 2002 and "Zgadnij" (eng.
Guess) in 2006.
2) Based in Charlotte, NC, Husky is made up of Mark Hadden (bass), Phil Strickland (guitar), and Nate Wilkinson (drums). Hadden and Strickland began playing together as high school sophomores in 1991. After various band experiences, they recruited Wilkinson and in early 2000 Husky was born. Since their inception, the instrumental trio has grown from spinning improvised epic rock jams to firing off focused, intelligent yet simple tunes. Ranging from thick, head nodding groove-rock to echoing bluesy twang and swirling psychedelia to driving Southern grit, Husky’s masculine punch has been embraced by fans of blues and classic rock to modern and stoner rock aficionados. Their improv skills often come into play during live shows. The full-length debut “Circle the Wagons” was released in March 2006. The follow up album "The Sea King" was released in April 2008. New album due out in late 2010.
3) Husky- A band based in Melbourne, Australia.

The music is full of warm and plaintive pianos, urgent drums, powerful guitars, tambourines, musical pots and a vintage piano accordion passed down to Husky from his grandfather. Above all, the songs are woven together by melodies and voices that resonate with a sort of nostalgia that is both uplifting and heart-breaking.
