Best described by the Los Angeles Times as "freshman-crush meets-sugar-rush," HELLOGOODBYE's EP (2004) quickly became an internet sensation as one of the first artists to gain a million plays on MySpace and PureVolume. They enthralled audiences with dynamic and festive live performances and once the quirky quartet was featured on MTV's The Real World Austin in 2005, their popularity skyrocketed. HELLOGOODBYE EP/DVD SPLIT features 15 bonus tracks of rare previously unreleased songs, alternate mixes and demos of favorite tracks like "Bonnie Taylor Shakedown ... 2K1" and "Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn" and, for the true fans, the prequel to "Jesse Go To Prom," "Jesse Buy Corsage." The new packaging also contains OMG HGB DVD ROTFL, featuring 5 music videos, live concert footage, and behind the scenes hi-jinx.

Coined as one of the "Most Anticipated Releases of 2006" by Alternative Press Magazine, HELLOGOODBYE's follow-up full-length album, ZOMBIES! ALIENS! VAMPIRES! DINOSAURS! hit the streets in August of '06 and yielded the Top Ten Platinum single, "Here (In Your Arms)." The video for the single debuted on MTV's "The 10 Spot" and enjoyed Top 8 rotation. ZOMBIES! ALIENS! VAMPIRES! DINOSAURS! AND MORE! includes the bonus track "If You Wanna I Might" and alternate versions and demos of the original track-listing, plus a concert DVD of HELLOGOODBYE's sold out smashing performance at The Avalon in Boston, MA May 6, 2007.

Hot off the inaugural "MySpace Sponsored Tour Series" HELLOGOODBYE spent the remainder of 2007 on a sold-out headlining tour of the UK. Next year, the band will begin writing and recording a follow-up full-length album for release in fall 2008.

HELLOGOODBYE has been the musical guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Last Call with Carson Daly, MTV's TRL, MTV Live and FUSE's Steven's Untitled Rock Show.
