Stabilo (band)
Stabilo (originally Stabilo Boss) was a Canadian rock band from Maple Ridge, British Columbia. They formed in 1999 and are best known for the songs "Everybody", "One More Pill", "Don't Look in Their Eyes", "Flawed Design", and "Kidding Ourselves".
Members Jesse Dryfhout and Christopher John (then Chris Moerman) were high school classmates who played in a band called Molly along with Shaun Bennett and McKenzie Dougall. Molly released their only EP, Ghosts of Yesterday, in 1997. Originally, Dryfhout was the band's drummer but began working with John on songwriting and vocals after writing the song "Everybody".
Molly's final performance was at a barn in Maple Ridge and was also Stabilo Boss's first performance as a band. Stabilo Boss featured 3 members from Molly: John, Dryfhout, and Bennett. The band also included new member Nathan Wylie, a former classmate of John and Dryfhout.
In 1999, the band recorded Kitchen Sessions, an independent recording made in a kitchen. The band and their friends created and distributed the album CDs. Around this time, Stabilo Boss gained more local recognition, especially among their university classmates.
In the summer of 2000, the band recorded their self-titled debut with Recording Producer/Engineer Matthew J Doughty at Praiz Sound Studio in Northern California. This recording marked the first appearance of bassist Karl Williaume. Released independently in early 2001, the album quickly sold out of its first pressing as Stabilo Boss gained more popularity in the local Vancouver music scene.
About a year later, a DJ at Vancouver's XFM radio station decided to play "Everybody" on their music competition show, Chaos. "Everybody" proved to be more popular than songs from more well-established artists and remained in the station's Top 7@7 charts for nearly a month. Due to the increased exposure, the band sold 5000 copies of their album and reached the notice of major labels.
Around this time, the band released The Beautiful Madness EP which they sold only at their live shows. The EP was recorded live off of the soundboard and featured a grand piano on all 4 tracks. It quickly sold out.
While considering contract offers from major labels, the band recorded a new album at Mushroom Studios in Vancouver, owned by John Wozniak (Marcy Playground). According to John, Wozniak liked the band so much that he "basically just gave us free time there". By 2003, the band had completed the album, produced by Wozniak and local musician/producer Jon Anderson (Radiogram/Jonathan Inc).
