Matt with Camp Freddy Roxy December Residency

[Falcon]

Thanks to billy Morrison for the following:

I am pleased to announce that Camp Freddy will be repeating our wildly successful Roxy Residency series and will do four shows during the month of December. The shows will again be at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd and we will again be promising four different sets and four completely different line ups. The shows will be every Tuesday during December - 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd. The shows in May were all sold out so I strongly urge you to buy your tickets in advance. They will be on sale at The Roxy and Ticketmaster this week. Our favorite rockers, Drive A will be opening the shows and we will let you know more details as we get them. I wanted to get this up here so that you guys stand the best chance of getting tickets. Here we go again!

CAMP FREDDY Holiday Madness - Nov. 18, 2008

CAMP FREDDY ? the Los Angeles-based "jam" group featuring Dave Navarro (ex-JANE'S ADDICTION, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS), Billy Morrison (ex-THE CULT bassist, current CIRCUS DIABLO vocalist), Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES), Donovan Leitch (son of legendary folk singer Donovan), and Chris Chaney (JANE'S ADDICTION, ALANIS MORRISETTE) ? has issued the following update:

"CAMP FREDDY are pleased to announce that they will be repeating the success of their Roxy residency with another series of shows during December. The band will perform each Tuesday during the month [Dec. 2, Dec. 9, Dec. 16 and Dec. 23] at The Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. Each week will be a different set list and different guests. Tickets are and will be on sale this week from The Roxy and Ticketmaster. All the May shows sold out so get your tickets in advance."

CAMP FREDDY recently parted ways with Los Angeles' acclaimed Indie 103.1 radio station, which has aired the band's weekly show every Saturday for nearly five years.

CAMP FREDDY is continuing work on what is expected to eventually be released as the band's debut album. Among the cuts that are set to appear on the effort are "20th Century Boy" (also featuring Steve Jones from THE SEX PISTOLS on lead guitar) and THIN LIZZY's "Jailbreak" (featuring ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist Jerry Cantrell on vocals and Billy Duffy on lead guitar). Other guest musicians include RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith and singer Macy Gray.

Since its formation six years ago when they rocked the opening of The Standard Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles at the invitation of Brent Bolthouse, CAMP FREDDY has performed on both coasts of America and on national television shows ("The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", "Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn", "Last Call with Carson Daly").

A bit more from www.billymorrison.net on the December Roxy Residency:

OK boys and girls. The tickets are now onsale through The Roxy and Ticketmaster, and at the wonderfully festive price of $20 too, so treat yerselves to some yuletide rock n roll. We are now crazy, of course, putting setlists together and reaching out to our friends. We intend to blow the roof off the place every week. Again, I strongly advise buying the tickets in advance as we cannot guarantee any walk up tickets being available.

More from Billy on 12/2 and a teaser for next week:

Well, the first Roxy show was a blast. So much fun playing with those guys. We added a few new tunes, some new faces to our family, and we'll be back with another show next Tuesday 9th. The full set list and guests will be up on the Camp Freddy site asap. Sue already has the MySpace/Facebook stuff updated. Lets hear a big cheer for Sue please. I have to say that if you don't have tickets yet for next week, get them now! And although we don't usually let on who the actual guests are for the shows, I would suggest that if you are in town next week, you should perhaps come down and check it out. Can't give you a better heads up than that!

And a review from the 12/2 show:

Camp Freddy @ The Roxy
A review of Camp Freddy posted by stymee007 on December 4, 2008 1:46 PM

When: Dec 2, 2008
Venue: The Roxy
Where: Los Angeles
Camp Freddy made their big return to the Roxy for the month long residency at the Roxy with another night of familiar faces and lots of rock n'roll excitement. This all-star ensamble of vocalist Donovan Leitch, guitarists Dave Navarro and Billy Morrison, bassist Chris Chaney and drummer Matt Sorum brought back the fun in rock n'roll, and gave the lively crowd lots to look forward to.

One of the things about a Camp Freddy show is the variety of people that show up to jam with the band. The crowd is always kept in anticipation over who will appear that evening, which is half of the excitement.

The night began with Queen's 'Tie Your Mother Down,' where Leitch started the show off with a familiar song that built up the energy for the evening. Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath was brought on stage to lead into Killing Joke's 'Eighties' and The Cult's 'Lil Devil,' where Billy Duffy joined the band on guitar. The opening songs set things off for the night, and there was rarely a dull moment the rest of the way.

Former Fuel vocalist Brett Scallions was next to sing 'Roadhuse Blues' and 'Mama Kin,' the two bluesier numbers of the evening. Then his wife and Slunt vocalist, Abby Gennet, was introduced to front a strong rendition of 'Whole Lotta Love,' which included her singing to Navarro, on her knees and doing her best Robert Plant impression. This became one of the many highlights of the evening.

Morrison took over lead vocals and brought out Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones to join in on 'Suffragette City.' He later returned to front 'I Wanna Be Your Dog.' Velvet Revolver's Duff McKagan came out for 'Holiday In The Sun,' and then Scallions returned to front 'It's So Easy.'

But the big name of the evening came when Godsmack frontman Sully Erna was brought out for the next three numbers - 'Good Times Bad Times', 'Max In The Box' and 'Bodies'. While most were familiar with him in his main band, he showed that he was able to place his own spin on these songs.

Much like past shows, tonight's Camp Freddy show showed no signs of having a dull moment. They are easily the missing link in rock music today, and hopefully will something every band will rediscover over time.

Thanks to Dave Navarro for the following recap of the 12/9 CF Roxy gig:

"Once again, we all had a great time last night at The Roxy for week two of the Camp Freddy residency. Our guests included Mark McGrath who did an unbelievable version of Public Image and an even better job on Sanctuary with The Cult's Billy Duffy. Who knew the guy could sing like that? Mark also killed it on Rebel Yell with Steve Stevens on guitar... Later we were joined by Slash and Chester Bennington for Whole Lotta Love and Paradise City, which were the ultimate finale. Chester also did an incredible version of Mountain Song with the core band. Of all the people who I have heard sing that song, Chester is second best, after Perry of course. Chester obviously respects the song and really does it justice in his delivery and clear intentions to stay true to the original version. He also tore up Ace of Spades. Other guests included Franky Perez, who amazed everyone with his incredible voice on Highway To Hell and Alright Now, Steve Jones, and The Darling Stilettos."
