Biography

Huntington Beach, Los Angeles CA, United States (2001 – present)

Hellogoodbye is a band, formed in Huntington Beach, California in 2001. They were signed to Drive-Thru Records where they released an EP, CD, and a DVD. Their first full-length album entitled Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! was released in August 2006. They are renowned for their DIY ethic, their shrill outfits and having a particularly close relationship with their fans. The band achieved fame due to their appearances on MTV’s The Real World: Austin and winning MTV2’s Dew Circuit Breakout.

History

The band Hellogoodbye was initiated in 2001 as a recording project by Huntington Beach High School student Forrest Kline. With the aid of fellow student Jesse Kurvink, Kline started recording synthesized power pop songs on his computer, which originally only served the purpose of entertaining their friends. However, as more and more of their songs appeared on MP3.com, Hellogoodbye’s fanbase grew. According to Kline, the band name was inspired by,a line from the TV series Saved by the Bell and the general transience of opportunities.

In 2002, without even having a release out, Hellogoodbye began playing local concerts in front of crowds of hundreds. For live shows, vocalist/guitarist Kline and keyboardist Kurvink were accompanied on drums by either Parker Case, who would later form the now defunct JamisonParker, or Aaron Flora. Flora and bassist Marcus Cole soon joined them permanently, completing the band’s line-up. [1]

    I just can't understand how come this band is not bigger. They're unbelievably talented, joyful, the singer has the nicest voice ever in pop music and they're so full of energy and vitality... it's like they're my secret weapon for dark days.

    New songs from forthcoming album [they're going to start recording after this last leg of the tour] are super-synthy with lots of surf rock riffs! get ready for cali hooks galore!

    @hurricanejoe - They're trying to be themselves. They just grew up and started writing much better music. What's hipster about it? What does that word even mean?

    What is up with Would It Kill You? Who are they trying to be? Sounds like a wannabe, more hipster and more indie, Panic.

    What are you guys talkin' bout? "Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! is their first and foremost record. And this band hasn't ever put out any bad music anyways. But that the majority of so called Hellogoodbye "fans" only listens to "Here In Your Arms" saddens me.
