About Me

hello dragon is the faint wire hum you sometimes hear in the city. "a fission of spacey rock and melodic indie pop laced with boy/girl harmonies, Hello Dragon's Quantum Explorers is a shiny and sun-glinted collection of oddball gemsâ€”under the acoustic/electric guitar interplay, reaching vocals and propellant rhythms are a cycle of lyrics circling subjects as disparate as Los Angeles, cryptozoology, and quantum physics" - web in front
"The most distinct element on The Quantum Explorers from Hello Dragon is apparent from the very first lyric of the album, "Smoked crack with a princess at the end of the worldâ€¦"The mix of epic and mundane, sacred and profane, pervades the entire album; with titles like "Millions of Terrible Moths," "Good Cops and Coke Fiends" and "Stephen Hawking," who could expect anything else" - amplifier

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/14/2006
Band Members: hello dragon is chris zerby.
w/ julie chadwick, mike eisenstein, sean burgess, jeremy wilkins and probably more...
Influences: Quantum Mechanics, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Bob Dylan, Vegan Cookies, Robots, Richard Dawkins, the fear of flying insects.
Sounds Like: "... the five tunes on "EP 01" by Los Angeles quartet Hello Dragon are stickier than Velcro -- slightly spaced-out pop anthems that reflect the band's stated fascination with "animal rights, quantum mechanics, El Chupacabra, vacuum tubes and cheap-sounding synthesizers." There's even a tuneful nod to "Stephen Hawking."

Hello Dragon -- the music and DIY sleeves -- is the handiwork of Chris Zerby and Julie Chadwick, who were the principals in the edgy Boston power-pop band Helicopter Helicopter..." Kevin Bronson - LATIMES

"... the music pulls you in right away and makes you want to stay for melodic guitar hooks and remarkably creative lyrics linking rats in palm trees, Machu Picchu, El Chupacabra, Stephen Hawking and other unexpected things to life and love in Los Angeles." -Pasadena Weekly
Type of Label: None
