Although the members are all from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the group was formed in New York City in 1978. In 2012, the band completed its first new studio album in 25 years and its first in 30 years with the original lineup.[3] HistoryDuring 1977, Stamey played bass with Alex Chilton in New York,[4] and recorded "(I Thought) You Wanted to Know" with Television guitarist Richard Lloyd. A single of the latter song, backed with "If and When" (on which Rigby and Holder played), was issued in 1978, credited to Chris Stamey and the dB's.[5] Holsapple joined the group in October 1978 after moving to New York City from North Carolina. Their second single, "Black and White", was issued by Shake Records in 1980. British label Albion Records released their first album, Stands for Decibels, in January 1981, to critical acclaim but negligible sales.[6] According to Trouser Press, the group drew from 1960s pop and psychedelia as well as 1970s pop groups like Big Star, but the songs by composers Stamey and Holsapple were too distinctive to merely copy their sources of inspiration.[7] While Holsapple was skilled in the composing of fairly conventional tunes such as "Big Brown Eyes" and "Bad Reputation," Stamey's songs, such as "Espionage" and "Tearjerkin'," tended to be somewhat more experimental and quirky.[5][7] They released a second album on Albion in October 1981, Repercussion, and also released singles such as "Judy." These two albums were later reissued on one compact disc.[5] Stamey left the group after the second album, and pursued a career as a solo artist and producer. The group then recorded a third album, Like This, released in 1984. The band had finally landed an American record deal with Bearsville Records, but distribution woes caused the album to be greatly delayed, and Bearsville folded the same year. Rick Wagner joined the band on bass, and Holder moved to lead guitar.[8] The Sound of Music, their last album before their breakup, was released in 1987 with New Orleans bass player Jeff Beninato, founder of the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund.[9] The album cracked the Billboard 200, hitting No. 171.[10] Beninato participated in the subsequent tour. Holder left the band to join the Individuals, and Eric Peterson was recruited on lead guitar after replacing temporary guitarist/keyboardist Harold Kelt. Several albums were released after the dB's broke up. Line Records compiled Stands for Decibels and Repercussion with the addition of two bonus tracks, first in 1992 as dB's First/ Repercussion, then in 1999 as Neverland.[11] Ride the Wild Tom-Tom, released in 1993 by Rhino Records, collected demos, early recordings, and singles. Paris Avenue, issued in 1994 by Monkey Hill Records, was a posthumous album by the final lineup, based on demo tapes from the band's waning days. Other projectsFollowing the dB's breakup, Holsapple worked as a sideman, serving as a full-time auxiliary guitarist and keyboardist for R.E.M. for four years, beginning with the Green world tour and continuing through the 1991 Out of Time album.[12][13] After leaving R.E.M., he toured with Hootie and the Blowfish[14] and then joined the Continental Drifters. He released one solo album, 1997's Out of My Way. Stamey has released six solo records and has worked as a record producer. In 1985, the Christmas Time holiday-themed mini-album was issued by Coyote Records, credited to "Chris Stamey Group with Special Guests the dB's". It was later expanded to a 17-song CD in 1993, retitled Christmas Time Again and featuring contributions from Mitch Easter, Ryan Adams, Marshall Crenshaw, Don Dixon and others, and then again as a 21-song CD in November 2006.[15] Rigby played drums for Steve Earle and others, and Holder continued to record and produce. In 1991, Stamey and Holsapple reunited (not under the dB's moniker) as a duo to record an album titled Mavericks. ReunionThe classic lineup of the dB's reunited in 2005 and performed two shows in Chicago and two in Hoboken, New Jersey.[16][17] Also in 2005, the band recorded a cover version of the 1966 song "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" to benefit the New Orleans Musicians' Relief Fund.[18] Bowery Ballroom in NYC hosted the dB's in January 2007,[19] and in February 2007, the band performed at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, North Carolina.[20]In March 2012, Holsapple, Stamey, Rigby, and Mitch Easter (substituting for Holder) played at South by Southwest.[3] Falling Off the Sky, their first new studio album in decades, was released in June 2012 by Bar/None Records.[21]DiscographyStudio albums
