Acetone (band)

Acetone were an American alternative rock band formed in 1992 in Los Angeles, California, United States, from the three core members of the group Spinout, formed in 1987. The group consisted of Mark Lightcap on guitar, Richie Lee on bass and Steve Hadley on drums. It disbanded after Lee’s suicide on July 23, 2001, aged 34.

The group's influences included The Beach Boys, Gram Parsons and the Velvet Underground. Establishing themselves as an alternative rock group, they incorporated genres ranging from neo-psychedelia to roots rock and country into their music.

Acetone has performed on few occasions since Lee's death, most notably with Mazzy Star's lead singer Hope Sandoval in 2017.
