Originally calling themselves Kajadoodoo,The Hi Fi Ninja is a band put together by former Punching Bag bassist and former Middle Class Trash drummer Ronnie Retail and his wife Shana utilizing songs they wrote before and after his tenure with Middle Class Trash.
The band grew out of a 10-song demo Ronnie and Shana recorded with a small 4 track from October 17-23,
2002.
6 years later Ronnie and Shana assembled the actual band.
Bryan Draffen, had joined The Hi Fi Ninja as their first drummer. Bryan had remixed the bands 3rd demo album entitled: “I’ve been doing weird stuff too”

musical interests," leaving the Ninja drummerless for a short period.
