Hey Young Believer is a three-piece analog/digital indie rock band from SF. We use piano, guitar, synths, programmed loops and live drums to blast out energetic tunes. We will play anywhere, preferably in SF, but you should ask. We give away lots of free downloads and stickers. We sell posters and CD's, both online and at live shows. What a fun band!

Hey Young Believer got started when Lilly and Alex met at Stanford in spring of 2006. Nick joined that winter. Alex launches midi bass-line sequences using a foot controller hooked to a PC laptop. Lilly plays a midi keyboard through Reason on a Mac.

Our name comes from the Rancid song "Black Lung Fever" from their album "Life Won't Wait." For us it's a saying that would preface some question calling attention to structures and rules in life that we take for granted, just because they've always been that way or because of something we've been told. Plus the way they yell the line in the song, it's unforgettable.

Our first full-length LP, "Invisible by Day" is out now, available on iTunes and Amazon. You can download the mp3's from this page, but please sign up on our mailing list and leave us a comment so we can get some satisfaction from it. Even better, come to a live show and tell us that you listened to it and shared it with a friend.

Cheers,
Lilly, Alex and Nick
