Imagine a childhood reared in the nether regions of imagination; a place where the extraordinary is all too commonplace. A place deep in the woods of Wisconsin, governed over by Godzilla cronies who pump the city streets full of assaulting wake-up calls from blow horn speakers. Steady streams of Pharaoh Sanders and Flipper rain down from clouds, as elementary school children sing praise to Green Lantern comics and Pere Ubu, while their older brothers and sisters set down their Alien Textbooks to rehearse No New York in preparation for the high school marching band. The place is Neo-Tokyo, Wisconsin, a cultural crossing point that has bred the world’s greatest space-sound ambassadors since Sun Ra checked out of Earth for Saturn. Their name, any which way you want it, is IfIHadAHiFi.

IfIHadAHiFi truly began when space oddities Yale Delay and Dr. Awkward met at Gem Roller Rink in Appleton in the year 1991. Together with Mr. Alarm and original keyboardist Noise Lesion, a full scale sonic invasion ensued. No Karma Recordings released 2001’s Ones and Zeroes, supported by the increasingly abrasive, almost unnerving, yet always enrapturing violence to their live shows.

After suffering three concussions from various live incidents, Noise Lesion exited the group; a call was placed to China, whereupon Reno Loner appeared in a vision of grace. It was here that IfIHadAHiFi began to truly develop their message and plans for musical solar system diplomatic domination. After over a year of perfecting the craft, Contraphonic Music Ltd.

Heard the Hog Nuggets split and promptly ordered their entire back cat from NoKarma.com after one listen. Great band.
