Coming off three albums that combined have sold over 1 million copies, AMERICAN HI-FI are now working at a Los Angeles studio with their reunited original line-up of STACY JONES (vocals/guitar), DREW PARSONS (Bass), JAMIE ARENTZEN (Guitar) and BRIAN NOLAN (drums).
The band will be previewing songs from the as yet untitled album, which revisits their rock roots, at an April 11 show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles; tickets go on sale tomorrow, Thursday, February 7. Two of the tracks from the disc–“Keep It Like A Secret” and “A Taste For Crime”–can currently be heard at www.myspace.com/americanhifi.
Lead singer STACY JONES will take the helm as producer for the record. He has produced recent offerings from U.K. band the Towers Of London (TVT), Los Angeles-based Low Vs Diamond (Epic), Vans Warped Tour darlings Meg & Dia (Doghouse/Warner Bros) and radio-staples Plain White T’s (Hollywood Records). JONES has also served as a staff producer/A&R Executive for Epic records and is an A&R executive/staff producer for indie start-up, Original Signal Recordings. Prior to AMERICAN HI-FI and his producing duties, JONES was a drummer in 90’s alt-rock bands Veruca Salt and Letters to Cleo.
Formed in 2000 in Boston, AMERICAN HI-FI has released three albums: their Bob Rock-produced 2001 self-titled debut, which featured the Top 10 hit single "Flavor of the Weak” as well as The Art of Losing (2003) and Hearts On Parade (2005).
