About Stereophonics
Stereophonics
The new gigs come after their seventh and latest album 'Keep Calm And Carry On' hit the charts in November 2009, fans can expect to see plenty of new material and some old classics."I wanted to make an album that was like a debut," said Kelly of the band’s latest musical offering. "We've got the brand of Stereophonics over us, we're expected to do a certain thing to fill seats, but I just tried to forget that.
“I wanted a record that carried its own weight, a set of songs you could play in a bar as a little band, and if they are strong enough, people will turn around from their beer and watch. That was it really.”
Richard said: "It's a different sounding album, but it's always going to sound like us, because it’s got Kelly's voice on there.
"A lot of questions came up, some real soul searching, but at the end of the day we're still the band that are playing it, we've got to be happy with it, and we are. Now we're going take it on the road and show everybody what we've got.”
Stereophonics are a rock band, formed in 1992 in Cwmaman, Wales by friends Kelly Jones (Guitar/Vocals), Stuart Cable (Drums) and Richard Jones (Bass) but no relation to Kelly. Colloquially known to their fans as the 'Phonics or the Stereos, in the years preceding their popularity, they went through shifting line-ups and were known by a variety of names including "KDR", “Zephyr”, "Silent Runner", "Blind Faith" and their most widely known pre-Phonics moniker "Tragic Love Company," taking one word from each member’s favourite band (The Tragically Hip, Mother Love Bone, and Bad Company). The band's official current line-up is Kelly Jones, Richard Jones, Javier Weyler and Adam Zindani.
Tragic Love Company had started out as a 4-piece band playing covers and original songs that had a blues vibe. After various fourth members, including childhood friend Simon Collier, left, the band decided to stick to being a 3-piece, ditching the blues for an edgier, punk sound which would translate better when played live. The band played up and down the country playing shows which ranged from less than 10 people to packing hundreds into small venues the length of the M4. It wasn't until John Brand took over as their manager in 1996 that the music industry started to take interest in the band. The name Tragic Love Company was decidely dropped for being too long-winded, and after Stuart saw the lettering on his father's radiogram, they adopted the name 'The Stereophonics', before quickly dropping the 'The' to simply Stereophonics. On August 1st, 1996 they became the first band to be signed to Richard Branson's new label V2.
