Say Hi To Your Mom is a Brooklyn-based, indie-pop/lo-fi rock group. Formed by Eric Elbogen in 2002, Say Hi to Your Mom's albums are mostly recorded at Elbogen's home, with him playing a majority instruments and providing vocals. On tour, Elbogen relies mostly on synthesizers and drum machines, though occasionally friends accompany him as a band. In 2005 Elbogen enlisted Chris Egan III as drummer and Jeff Sheinkopf as keyboardist. The inspiration for the band's name is said to have come from a friend who suggested it to them. The members took the name saying that it reminded them of a midwesten Dairy Queen. Say Hi to Your Mom's record company Euphobia Records was created for the band to start to produce its own records. Though many consider this makes them "unsigned" they responded with "We stopped distinguishing between that sort of thing long ago, as should you. Just because you saw Almost Famous and read Spin, doesn't mean you have a degree in music-industry-ology."
