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

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. Boylife will be released in the rest of Europe later this year.

"Lo-Fi-Fnk stepped out of our technicolor robot dreamworld (populated by Daft Punk robots singing Hot Chip songs) and banged out an all too short set of synthesized Pop nuggets at the Levi's/FADER Fort, proving once again that Sweden might be the best fucking country evAR" - THE FADER

 '(Hot Chip/The Rapture/Lo-Fi-FNK Philadelphia, PA; 11/03/06) In comparison to the rest of the acts, Lo-Fi-Fnk's performance felt downright precious." [Pitchfork Media]

'I'm pretty late to the game on this group (well I say that and the album isn't even released stateside yet--it's a blogosphere buzz band for sure though), but it's so good I had to post on it. Lo-Fi Fnk is an electronic pop group from Sweden. To me they sound like a mix between Daft Punk and Phoenix" [The Yellow Stereo]
