Event Description
Formed in Vancouver in 1996, Stabilo (originally known as Stabilo Boss) immediately set about crafting its sound. Drawing on rock, jazz and folk, the quartet began building a grassroots following while developing songs that appealed to mainstream and indie fans, along with jazz lovers and Deadheads. Selling over 5000 copies of its two self-released records, this ambitious and hardworking unit drew the attention of EMI, which released Cupid?, a seven-song calling card, in 2004. Spearheaded by the crowd favourite “Everybody”, the disc broadened the band’s already wide appeal, paving the way for their full-length major label debut Happiness & Disaster.Happiness & Disaster features the kind of stirring songs, touching vocals and sturdy melodies fans have come to expect, including the leadoff single and video “Flawed Design” which spent 5 weeks at #1 on Canada’s Hot AC chart. Powerful tracks like “Kidding Ourselves”, “Beautiful Madness”, “Don’t Look in Their Eyes” and a new version of “Everybody” further showcase the band’s impressive songwriting talents.
