 The trio, regretting using cliches in their band name (claiming that "Los" (The) in a rock-band name was overused), would often brainstorm random words and write them down, a university pastime for Cerati and Bosioeventually coming up with "Soda Stereo", thanks in part to Cerati's excessive soda consumption during band rehearsals.The first show under "Soda"'s new name occurred in December 1982, at birthday party, Cerati and Bosio's university classmate.Lois would go on to become Soda's video director as well as their visual and stylistic guru; he would later be recognised by Cerati himself as "the fourth Soda member".
