Say Hi (previously known as Say Hi to Your Mom) is a Seattle-based indie rock [2] band formed in Brooklyn in 2002 by Eric Elbogen. [3]
Say Hi's albums are recorded at Elbogen's home, [4] with him playing all of the instruments & providing vocals.
Eric Elbogen was born in 1976 and grew up in San Fernando Valley, California. He attended UCLA.
He moved to Brooklyn, New York & created Say Hi to Your Mom in 2002. [5]
He plays a Fender Jazzmaster guitar.
Elbogen most often tours as a solo act, but occasionally employs friends to accompany him as his backing band.
Their fourth release, Impeccable Blahs, was written almost entirely about vampires, [6] though Star Trek is also mentioned. [2] The song "Angels and Darlas" is a reference to Angel and Darla from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff Angel both created by Joss Whedon.
With the release of their fifth album The Wishes and the Glitch , the band shortened their name to "Say Hi". [7]
This was done because the earlier name reflected an aesthetic that no longer matched the band's tastes. [8]
Say Hi covered The Violent Femmes' "Kiss Off" for American Laundromat Records' charity album "Sing Me To Sleep – Indie Lullabies" in 2010
Elbogen's lyrics are noted as being one of the band's strengths. [9]
