Biography
Members Jesse Dryfhout and Christopher John (then Chris Moerman) were high-school classmates who played in a band called Molly with friends Mckenzie Dougall and Shaun Bennett. Molly released their demo-tape “Ghosts of Yesterday” in 1997 and sold all 500 copies. Dryfhout was originally the drummer until he came to the band with the first song that he had ever written: “Everybody”. Soon after, he and John started to share song-writing and singing duties.
Molly played their last show at a barn in Maple Ridge only to walk back onto the stage as Stabilo Boss, sporting a new line-up with both Christopher and Jesse leading the band. The band’s acoustic-rock sound featured Nathan Wylie, an accomplished drummer and friend of Dryfhout and John, and Karl Williaume on bass.
In 1999, the band recorded Kitchen Sessions, so named as it was an independent recording made in a kitchen. The EP was a completely home-made affair, the band and their university friends burning and distributing the discs themselves. Around this time, Stabilo Boss began to grow a solid local fan base based on the core support of their peers in school.
In the summer of 2000, the band recorded their self-titled debut, releasing it independently in early 2001. The album quickly sold out of its first pressing as Stabilo Boss began to become regulars in the local Vancouver music scene. The band’s big break came roughly a year later when a DJ at the Vancouver’s XFM decided to play “Everybody” on their music competition show, Chaos.

Jesse, that's not fair. You can't write such amazing songs and picture depression absolutely perfectly and then just blink out of existence.

Statement from the band: "Stabilo is on permanent hiatus. There are no plans to tour or put out another record in the foreseeable future. That is not to say it will ‘never’ happen, just that at this time it is not in the plans. We are all still friends but are pursuing other interests. We want to sincerely thank our fans and everyone who has supported us, bought our music, and come out to shows. We couldn’t have done it without you and your support has meant a great deal to us. Thank you!" Stay tuned for a solo release sometime this year from Stabilo's Christopher John.

Why the heck is no one listening to Into the Blind? Behind Happiness & Disaster and Flawed Design, that's definitely their best song. It might even tie with them. Also, Stabilo is such a sick band that not 'nuff people are listening to.
