Camp Freddy is a group of established musicians who play rock and roll covers at various shows around America.
The band is named after a character in The Italian Job movie and was created for the sole purpose of having a good time. Guitarist Billy Morrison describes them as: “…not a band, but it is also way more than a jam session. Camp Freddy is an ‘Occasional Happening’, a freak of (Hollywood) nature.”
There are five consistent members of Camp Freddy, but each performance features guest performances from many respected musicians. Scott Weiland was a core member and vocalist for the band from March 2006 until April 2008, when his decision to leave Velvet Revolver for Stone Temple Pilots caused tension between Matt Sorum and Weiland, leading to his departure from the group being announced on the April 2, 2008 edition of Camp Freddy Radio.
On Saturday evenings the band members (usually Navarro and Morrison) host a radio show that takes place between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 PT on the Los Angeles based Indie 103.1 FM radio station. They play their selection of music and discuss almost anything, including a popular segment where they phone call girls from ads in the back of L.A. Weekly.
Camp Freddy had a residency at the Roxy, playing every Thursday in May 2008.
