Even though '80s band the
Dream Syndicate have been dormant for nearly 25 years since their breakup,
the group's music had recently been recognized in the press by
Japandroids. One of the songs on Japandroids' acclaimed 2012 record
Celebration Rock, is "The Nights of Wine and Roses," which is similarly named after the Dream Syndicate's 1982 debut album,
The Days of Wine and Roses. And they even invited Dream Syndicate founder and singer,
Steve Wynn, to their show in Brooklyn, New York. "I know about them," Wynn tells Spinner about the Canadian duo. "Somebody sent me an interview where the singer [Brian King] was saying that
Live at Raji's was the biggest influence on their new record, which is very flattering and also an unusual choice because people always talk about
Medicine Show and
The Days of Wine and Roses. But I always thought that in a way, it's not the best record we made, [but] the one that most typified what we did, so that was kind of cool."
