Hello Goodbye is a Scandinavian union of Swedes, Lisa Lundkvist (vocals) and Johannes Kanschat (drums), and Norwegians Frode Fivel (guitar and vocals) and Alex Kloster-Jensen (producer and guitar). Following the release of 7" African Nights (1999) on the label Smalltown Supersound, they soon became favourites in the Norwegian underground music scene. Another highlight of 1999 was playing with Hello Goodbye-fans Yo La Tengo at So What in Oslo. Due to Lisa's art studies they moved to Gothenburg, Sweden in 2000.
