F/i

F/i are from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and have been around since 1981, releasing a half-dozen LPs on RRRecords. The band started out as a unit elaborating on noise structures in the tradition of Throbbing Gristle or Nurse With Wound. They are also influenced by Hawkwind and Spacemen 3. In 1983 they changed their name from The Surfin' Führers to F/i. Richard Franecki later went on to form Vocokesh but still returns to F/i once in a while.
