Stereophonics started with Kelly Jones, Richard Jones and Stuart Cable, having all grown up together in the Welsh village of Cwymaman. Cable was sacked in 2003 for commitment issues and was replaced in late 2004 with Argentinean Drummer Javier Weyler, who the band met in South America on a tour there.
Richard Jones couldn't originally play Bass on joining the band, and Kelly Jones has since stated the main reason for bringing him into the band was because he is "Ice Cold" - cool.
The band started music life as "Tragic Love Company." The name "Stereophonics" was taken from the make of Stuart's grandmother's gramophone.
