Eric Elbogen formed Say Hi To Your Mom in 2000, eventually also founding Euphobia Records to release his indie-pop ditties. He tweaked the act’s moniker to simply Say Hi before the release of 2008’s The Wishes And The Glitch (Purchase it here). The album features Say Hi’s trademark catchy synth-powered melodies along with Elbogen’s always entertaining lyricism. A classic D.I.Y. project, Elbogen handles the entire recording process and is responsible for the majority of the sounds you hear on Say Hi’s catalog, sans the occasional guest contribution. We caught up with the man himself recently over email and received some insightful responses to our quickfire questions. more ›

You know, we just don’t go to the theatre nearly often enough. It’s one of those things – we really mean to, but like, other stuff happens and then plans get made and liquor is drunk and suddenly we’re stumbling into our apartment saying to ourselves, “Hey, we still haven’t been to the theatre and, um, where are our pants?” But fortunately for us, this weekend we saw The Grind, The Loaded Gun Theory’s... more ›
