Say Hi is Coming to Phoenix Ya'all

A great band that is enjoyed around the Electric Mustache offices that goes by the amended name Say Hi is coming to our sparkling city on May 17th. They are playing at The Rhythm Room, my favorite place to see a show with "room" in the name.

They are grabbing Cloud Cult out of the frozen north to entertain us more extra, so in my book that's pretty cool of them and my book is the definitive collection of things that are cool with me.

I will definitely be there and if you can spook me I will have that push up contest with Mike all of you have been asking for.

They are also on a tour of cities that I don't live in so check them out in a city nearest your house.

Tour Dates:
04-17-09 @ Live on KEXP at Caffe Vita -- Seattle, WA (11:30 am) (Listen here)
04-17-09 @ The Crocodile -- Seattle, WA; with Telekinesis and Throw Me The Statue and The Banyans (Say Hi plays early!)(TIX)

05-08-09 @ Neumos -- Seattle, WA; with Cloud Cult

Say Hi "Oohs & Aahs" | 7.5 Beards (Reviews)

I just came back from Walgreens where I was dropping off some redbox and on my way home I had my window rolled down and it smelled like fish...WTF? I live in the desert, there are no fish here. Even though that has nothing to do with Say Hi I though you would want to know something like that...it might be a sign of the impending electro war.

THIS has something to do with Say Hi's new album Oohs & Aahs. If you don't know who they are then you are not alone, my parents have no idea and I bet most babies don't either, you should go hang out with old babies then. But if you are a person that has not heard of them and wants to hear more I suggest you pick up Oohs & Aahs at you local Amazon. I recomend listening to a couple songs on their myspace page because you will be hooked on their debonair styling. But really it's Friday and you ain't got shit to do so buy the mutha fucka...and if you just want to buy a couple tracks because of the great depression and you need beer money for tonight at least get Elouise and Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh because they are really good and will be fun to day together.

Oohs & Aahs due out NOW on Barsuk Records

What the video for Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh below:
