Stockholm Syndrome is an American rock music band formed in Athens, Georgia, as a collaboration between Dave Schools of Widespread Panic and Jerry Joseph of Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons. The two enlisted Los Angeles drummer Wally Ingram ( Jackson Browne and Sheryl Crow), San Francisco guitarist Eric McFadden (who had previously worked with Keb' Mo', Primus, Les Claypool, and the P Funk All Stars), and German keyboardist Danny Dziuk. Dziuk however, has since been replaced on tour by Gov't Mule keyboardist Danny Louis.
Originally intended as a one-time studio side-project for the musicians, the band released an album in 2004, Holy Happy Hour, and then went on a nationwide tour in support of the album. The band has toured intermittently since then and on February 16, 2010, they released a live EP, "Stockholm Syndrome Live at Streetlight Records," which was recorded during an in-store performance at Streetlight Records in Santa Cruz in September 2009. The band has said that they have gotten another full-length album ready for release.
As the band allows audience members to tape their shows, many of their concert recordings can be found at the Internet Archive. [1]
The band's second album, Apollo, was released on February 15, 2011. Schools and Joseph wrote the songs after sitting on a porch looking at redwood trees in California. The band recorded in " a converted chicken coop" to achieve "a low-fi garage [sound]". [2] From the recording sessions, they produced a two- track vinyl record to sell at concerts. [2]
Formation
Schools and Joseph met and discovered their compatibility as songwriters. While Widespread Panic took a break, Schools and Joseph toured Europe because Schools wanted to be productive. The two continued to write songs together. [2]
