About

Lo-Fi-Fnk was formed when Leo Drougge and August Hellsing met in highschool in the year 2kzero-2k1. They joined a team in their aim to start a band that really reflected them as persons and the time and place they were a part of. In a beginning they were mainly inspired by dancemusic and their fantasies about huge clubs where nothing was forbidden. Fantasies because they were too young to be allowed into to most of the cool clubs. They were left with the radios weekly dancemusic-feature bootlegged to cassette-tapes. You could hear that in their 2002 promo EP 'We Is' [La Vida Locash].

After that, a huge leap forward straight into the arms and ears of many people. Unighted was released, 2k4. Vocals and a much more advanced producing techniques. The track made the band irresistible for the biggest festivals in Sweden like ‘Hultsfredsfestivalen’ and also the biggest national radio like p3. Bloggers round the world agreed and 'Unighted' keeps on spreading even today, two years later.

In 2k5 the Lo-Fi-Fnk EP '(...And the JFG?)' was released in Scandinavia. Three of the six tracks on the record were on Swedish national radio rotation. They were all over the place. And about now the rest of the world understood for real. This led to around 30 live gigs in Europe and features on big contemporary compilations cds.

2006 was the year they felt the world was ready for their first longplayer: 'Boylife'. Boylife is supposed to represent their farewell to the irresponsible day-2-day life they've been living since high school. An eleven track pop interpretation. You can feel it in the music, the lyrics and see it in the artwork.

In 2007:
-Lo-Fi-Fnk are DISCOvering the world on their Boylife Tour.
-They are gonna release the 12/7 inches Change Channel and City with remixes by The Teenagers, Linus Loves, Jitset + others.
-Lo-Fi-Fnk will do remixes when there is time left, but mainly gonna concentrate on making the follow up to Boylife.
