Aptly named after an attention seeking exclamation, Hey Guy grabs listeners, inside and out. Brainchild of classically trained, compelling and charismatic singer/songwriter Boris Pelekh, Hey Guy is a rare modern rock act that pairs haunting melodies and fierce stage energy with infectious humor. Among the diverse influences coursing through Hey Guy’s veins, remain marks of Mother Russia -- birthplace of Boris + brother/bassist Leo Pelekh -- embodied in brooding brows and bold intellects that mold the intense, innovative music and media at the heart of Hey Guy. Hey Guy’s talent and personality is bookended by their well-reputed musicianship, audible in each carefully craftednote, and their insatiable appetite for the absurd. Thriving within this range, Hey Guy defines their own genre as “serious music with a sense of humor.” On the serious side of their spectrum, Hey Guy believes in giving back before getting. Major advocates of prefame philanthropy, this year, Hey Guy launched a NY pilot project -- ROCK GOOD -- that enlists local musicians to participate in charitable concerts + activities that aim for global impact. Hey Guy also floods the atmosphere + airwaves daily w/ their infamous social joy device -- “you’re perfect.” -- a pure, viral word pairing that gives immediately to everyone who gets it and delivers a reminder good for all. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Hey+Guy">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
