From 1% Productions website: Thursday, 5/17/07 7:30PM @ Sokol Auditorium HELLOGOODBYE w/ Boys Like Girls & The Rocket Summer TICKETS: $15 ADV / $17 DOS Hellogoodbye are a group of quirky, fun-loving emo rockers from California who seem to take as much influence from modern pop-punk as they do from the original Nintendo sound bleeps that held children captive in the late '80s. Formed by high school friends in 2002, their playful brand of indie power pop is infused with sugary sweetness, catchy dance beats, and enough energy to tire a group of five-year-olds.
