“The kind of comeback you always want your favorite band to make.” MOJO We could spend a whole page just talking about the original Dream Syndicate and their debut album The Days of Wine & Roses – but suffice to say that the NME, Melody Maker, Sounds, Rolling Stone, et al – all loved it.ĭecades later, in 2012 they remerged with a slight change in line-up, guitarist Jason Victor joining two original members Steve Wynn (singer/songwriter/guitarist) & drummer Dennis Duck and long-time bassist Mark Walton (a member since 1984) – and after a blaze of touring, they recorded their first album in decades, How Did I Find Myself Here? But before MTV switched to reality shows, The Dream Syndicate of The Days of Wine & Roses were no more. When the Dream Syndicate emerged in the early 80s, frontman Steve Wynn declared that “we’re playing music we want to hear because nobody else is doing it” – he added, “I’ll comprise on what I eat or where I sleep, but I won’t compromise on what music I play.”īoth were true, although their template of Velvet Underground meets Crazy Horse may seem commonplace today (and let’s not forget, the Syndicate spawned many imitators), their raw twin guitar, bass and drums approach was not common during an era when slick polished MTV bands ruled.

Set to release their new album this summer ‘Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions’ features singer/songwriter/guitarist Steve Wynn, drummer Dennis Duck, bassist Mark Walton, lead guitarist Jason Victor plus their newest member Chris Cacavas on keyboards (you remember him from the 1980s Los Angeles band Green On Red). All Steve Wynn performances and recordings are the exclusive property of Steve Wynn.After several reissues of vintage recordings, The Dream Syndicate recently revealed they had signed to indie institution and ‘international guardian of wonky psychedelia’ (Uncut), Fire Records. Unauthorized sale, duplication and/or distribution is strictly forbidden. Fan recording of Steve Wynn concerts is authorized for non-commercial purposes only. Soundboard taping must be coordinated through Steve, so get in touch beforehand or be present at load-in/soundcheck. Soundboard taping is not desirable at small clubs where the soundboard mix is unbalanced and lacking in guitars.

Soundboard taping is sometimes allowed, but at Steve's discretion. Other patrons to be quiet or move or otherwise interfere with their enjoyment of the show. The enjoyment of the audience should take precedence over recording efforts, so at no time should tapers ever require This policy applies to any of Steve's concerts as a solo act (including the Miracle 3 and other acoustic and electric bands like Quartet and Quintet), and Steve's primary bands the Dream Syndicate, Gutterball, and Danny and Dusty.Īudience audiotaping and videotaping is permitted at Steve Wynn shows, but please do not interfere with other fans enjoyment of the shows. Steve Wynn's Taping and Trading Policy as of : It's all pretty heavily traded anyway so the more, the merrier. I can vouch for the inclusion of Gutterball, Dream Syndicate, Danny and Dusty as well as my own stuff. It's nice to see the music live on after the gig is over. I know there are a lot of people out there who trade tapes/CDs of my live shows and I think that's great. I am looking forward to being a part of your website. I've always been cool with the idea of taping and trading and, in fact, feel that we would be appreciated by the Deadhead-type crowd so maybe this will give us an introduction to many new people who would like our music.

I'd be very happy to be a part of it and if you want to get things rolling that would be great.

Wow, that Archive.Org things is very very cool.
