AMERICAN HI-FI
SIGNS TO GOOMBA MUSIC
March 28, 2012
– Goomba Music is proud to announce the signing of AMERICAN
HI-FI. The original line-up--Stacy Jones (singer/guitarist), Drew
Parsons (bass), Jamie Arentzen (guitars) and Brian Nolan (drums)—is
currently recording their as-yet-untitled new album in Los Angeles,
CA with an expected worldwide release date this fall. It’s
being produced by the band and John Fields (Switchfoot, Jimmy Eat
World) and recorded at Stacy Jones’ studio, The Deathstar.
"It feels great
to make music with these guys,” exclaims Stacy Jones. “11
years in, American Hi-Fi is a brotherhood. We made this record because
we feel like the world needs a few more guitar bands. We are just
doing our small part to keep Rock-N-Roll alive!"
For the past six years,
members of American Hi-Fi have been working with Miley Cyrus. Singer
Stacy Jones has been her music director and drummer, Jamie Arentzen
has been her guitarist and Drew Parsons has played bass at a few
concerts. Stacy and Jamie have been featured in everything Miley
Cyrus since the beginning of her “Hannah Montana” days,
including the 2009 movie and “Best Of Both Worlds” concert
film/DVD.
Over the course of their
10-year career, American Hi-Fi has sold over 1 million albums thanks
to hit singles such as the Top 10 smash “Flavor Of The Weak,”
“Another Perfect Day” (which was used as Coca-Cola’s
theme for the 2002 Winter Olympics) and “The Art Of Losing,”
and they’ve toured the world with artists such as Elvis Costello,
Matchbox Twenty, Bon Jovi, Sum 41 and Fall Out Boy. Before teaming
up as American Hi-Fi, the band members performed as part of various
influential bands from the ‘90s Alternative Rock scene, including
Veruca Salt and Letters to Cleo, and with Tanya Donelly, Tracy Bonham,
Aimee Mann, and Juliana Hatfield individually. Their songs have
been heard on TV shows and commercials such as Coors, Labatt Blue,
Verizon, “Boston Public,” “24” and “Dawson’s
Creek,” video games including “Guitar Hero 3,”
and in movies including “American Pie 2,” “Freaky
Friday,” “Van Wilder” and “Superman Returns.”
And Stacy has produced albums at The Deathstar for such artists
as The Downtown Fiction, Ingrid Michaelson, Meg & Dia, The Cab,
Plain White T’s, Hey Monday and Academy Is… and many
others.
