about
The name Stockholm Syndrome describes three different bands. One is an American rock band based out of Athens, Georgia, and the other is a Dutch hardcore band and a Swedish pop/house group. (1) 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, San Francisco guitarist Eric McFadden (who had previously worked with Keb' Mo', Primus 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 a single album, Holy Happy Hour in 2004, and then went on a nationwide tour in support of the album. As the band allowed audience members to tape their shows, many of their concert recordings can be found at the Internet Archive. (2) When Stockholm Syndrome played their farewell show in September 2005, at the Dutch SXSW festival in Tilburg, the place was packed. The people there witnessed a great swan song from one of Holland's most innovative hardcore bands at the time. The band lived for only five years but managed to play a shitload of shows, not only in prestigious Dutch venues like Paradiso, Goudvishal, 013, Melkweg and Vera, but also in numerous bars and squats all over Europe, with bands such as JR Ewing, Oil, Shai Hul
