Say Hi Says Bye to Mom
As of September 2007, the band formerly known as Say Hi To Your Mom will be known simply as “Say Hi.” Make sure to pick up all the extended-name merchandise at http://www.ilikesayhi.com/shop.htm, since once it’s gone, none of it (with the exception of the CDs, of course) will be re-pressed.
In other Say Hi news, the band will be touring Europe and then the US this fall. See the On Tour page for all the details.
And, in addition to all the name changing and tour planning, Say Hi is also working on its next album. Its fifth record is close to completion and should arrive in early 2008.

Ra Ra Riot continues onward
In the face of the tragic loss of drummer John Pike earlier this month, Ra Ra Riot is determined to live out the plans the band set down together with John. Our thoughts are with them.
Their self-titled EP was released via The Rebel Group on 7/10/07.
Ra Ra Riot has, as always, lots of shows lined up. They’re spending September and October touring with Editors, and in October they’ll also be playing the Iceland Airwaves festival with Bloc Party and Of Montreal. Dates on the On Tour page.
