Peter Holsapple & Chris Stamey
“I always say I have short-term memory loss because of my youthful indiscretions,” Peter Holsapple explained as his longtime playing partner Chris Stamey fiddled with some technical difficulties involving a noisy guitar cord. “Chris and I have been playing in bands together since we were 14, 15 years old, and I can remember his songs [...]

Peter Holsapple & Chris Stamey – Mavericks
When dB’s founders Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple reunited to record again eight years after Stamey had left the band, fans got excited to hear the cult outfit’s jangly, jagged college rock again.

Peter Holsapple – Out of My Way
Don’t know about in your town, but here in Los Angeles, “Adult Album Alternative” (aka Triple-A) radio stuff tends to be watered-down folk-rock and HORDE-iness with a side order of Steely Dan, Dire Straits and Peter Gabriel.
