Hey Mercedes, formed from members of Chicago's emo band Braid, included Bob Nanna, Todd Bell, Mark Dawursk, and Damon Atkinson. They debuted with an EP in 2000 and followed up with extensive touring and two albums: Everynight Fire Works (2001) and Loses Control (2003).

Dawursk left at the end of 2001 and was replaced by Mike Shumaker. After 359 shows and several releases, the band disbanded in April 2005.

They played a reunion show in 2007 and celebrated the 15th anniversary of Everynight Fire Works in 2016 with a remastered re-release and select live performances. 

In 2025, the band made their live comeback at Las Vegas's second annual Best Friends Forever Festival, and will continue to play more shows in 2026.
