After 10 years....Hot Rod Circuit is no more

I am both sad and not sad that that Hot Rod Circuit has called it quits. I am sad because of all the great memories I have of HRC of being up front at a show and singing at the top of my lungs to "Irish Car Bomb"......But in a way it's a relief because this band died after the album "Sorry About Tomorrow". It was painful over the years to see the band I once loved put out album after album that sounded nothing like the band I fell in love with in 2000. May the band rest in peace
New Album from "Say Hi"
SAY HI
The Wishes And The Glitch, Feb 2008
Seattle's Eric Elbogen, aka Say Hi, is gearing up for the early '08 release of The Wishes And The Glitch, his forthcoming and much-anticipated new full-length on Euphobia records. While his dry sense of humor is never far, gone are the persistent musings about robots and vampires, replaced here instead by a complicated mapping of the post-twenty something psyche, of someone who fell out of love with everything he once held dear and who then musters as much gumption as he can to launch a fresh start. This is an album full of self-examination, and the first that finds him writing introspectively. He's just now back from touring Germany, and is going on a massive Fall US tour with the Velvet Teen and the A-Sides
