If there’s one thing to expect from Hellogoodbye, it’s the unexpected. One day the band is hosting an on-stage house party, and the next, each member is dressed up as a different piece of fruit. Intensely synth-sational and gratifyingly groovy, Hellogoodbye has spent the last three years perfecting their unbridled live show and booty-shaking jams.
For their long-awaited debut album, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!, the band enlisted the help of Matt Mahaffey, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist of the power-pop band Self, turn-table master on albums by Pink and Smash Mouth, and a member of Beck’s back-up band.. The eleven on the disc work together to create a non-stop, radtastic mix, where no two songs are alike. From the opening beats of the new New Wave powerhouse “Here (in Your Arms)” to the tender plucking and pining of “Oh, It Is Love” Hellogoodbye has created the perfect soundtrack to any floor shakin’ dance party followed by a hot and heavy make-out session. The 2006 release debuted at lucky #13 on the Billboard Top 200 and is the highest charting Drive-Thru Records release to date. “Here (In Your Arms),” became the first platinum record for Hellogoodbye as well as Drive-Thru.
