About Hellogoodbye
Hellogoodbye formed in 2001 in Huntington Beach, California, with Forrest Kline as the primary creative force. They're best known for their 2006 debut album 'Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!' which spawned the indie pop-punk hit 'Here In Your Arms,' a song that somehow became ubiquitous on MySpace and early YouTube despite its jangling, almost twee sensibilities. The track's infectious energy and Kline's breathy vocals defined a particular strain of mid-2000s pop-punk that was equal parts earnest and ironic. Beyond that one big moment, Hellogoodbye continued churning out albums with diminishing mainstream attention, but maintained a devoted cult following who appreciated Kline's songwriting approach—simultaneously clever and heartfelt, nerdy and romantic. They've become something of a comfort band for millennials who grew up with their music on scene playlists and Warped Tour lineups.
Their shows tend toward the enthusiastic and self-aware, with crowds that actually know the words to deeper cuts. Kline performs with dry, understated stage presence, letting the music do the work. Expect singalongs and genuine affection from attendees, though the energy is more earnest than raucous.
Known for Here In Your Arms, Chemicals, Everlong, Shattered, Baby It's Fact
Hellogoodbye + Phoenix
Hellogoodbye has maintained a quiet presence in Phoenix over the years, most recently stopping by Crescent Ballroom in March 2025. The band brought their signature pop-rock energy to the intimate venue, working through their catalog with the kind of practiced ease that comes from nearly two decades in the game. They touched on the songs people actually want to hear—the ones that defined their early run—and closed things out with an encore that felt earned rather than obligatory. It's the kind of show that doesn't make headlines but leaves people genuinely glad they went.

Live Music in Phoenix
Phoenix's music scene has always had room for the kind of approachable, hook-driven pop-rock that Hellogoodbye does well. The city supports venues like Crescent Ballroom that thrive on mid-tier touring acts, bands that are past their breakthrough moment but haven't aged into nostalgia acts. It's a scene that appreciates craft over flash, and where a band can build a real following without needing to be everywhere at once.
Phoenix road trip to see Hellogoodbye?
Stay in Arcadia, where tree-lined streets and restored Craftsman homes give you actual neighborhood texture instead of generic sprawl. Eat at Otro, where the cooking is precise without being pretentious. Hit the Heard Museum if you want to understand what Arizona actually is beneath the tourism layer. Hike Camelback Mountain early morning before the heat makes it punishing. Spend an afternoon at Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home, which feels oddly fitting for a band that cares about emotional architecture. The whole city slows down at sunset in a way that makes Dashboard's introspection feel less like melancholy and more like clarity.
