Boston, United States (1998 – present)

American Hi-Fi is a power pop/alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, best known for their 2001 hit Flavor of the Weak.

To date they have released three studio albums, as well as a live album released only in Japan.

The band are at present ‘still in the studio’ working on album no.4.

According to an radio interview given by the band in 2001, their name came from a chance meeting with Keith Richards at a club. When they mentioned to him that they were looking for a name, he suggested “American Hi-Fi.”

Frontman and founding member Stacy Jones previously drummed for the often mis-labelled all girl punk rock outfit Veruca Salt on their Eight Arms To Hold You tour but never recorded for the band leaving in 1998 to start American Hi-Fi.

Jones is a renowned producer and songwriter and has produced a mixed bag of artists from Hana Montana to Towers of London. Jones is also married to international photographer Jade Loop.

@Aesthete24: Sheesh, if I judged every musician by their name and Last.fm pic, then I'd have missed out on so many of my favourites. :| Not to mention their name was suggested to them by Keith Richards, of all people. Besides, I like their music, which is far more important than their name or current Last.fm picture.
