History


The band's name is derived from a character in the 1969 film The Italian Job.[2] Guitarist Billy Morrison described 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." The group often played secret shows and other small appearances at charity events.[2] On Saturday evenings, band members - usually Morrison and Navarro - hosted a radio show from 6:00-8:00 on the Los Angeles-based Indie 103.1 FM radio station.[2]


In January 28, 2005, the group performed a benefit concert for the 2004 South East Asia tsunami at the Key Club in Los Angeles, which featured guest appearances from Courtney Love, Lemmy, Linda Perry, and Slash.[3]


In March 2006, Scott Weiland joined as a core member and vocalist for the band until April 2008, when his decision to leave Velvet Revolver for Stone Temple Pilots caused tension between Matt Sorum and Weiland. His departure from the group was announced on the April 2, 2008 edition of Camp Freddy Radio. Camp Freddy, with producer Mike Clink, were reportedly recording an album which would mirror their live shows, with guests performing on each track. So far, two tracks have been released: Cheap Trick's "Surrender" and Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody".


In 2009, Billy Morrison stated that "there will be a record. One day! When we all get around to finishing what we started."[4] In April 2010, the group played a show at an IZOD IndyCar Series event, which featured guest performances from Lemmy and Courtney Love.[5]


In December 2012, the band had a residency at The Roxy in Los Angeles which lasted for three nights leading up to Christmas Day, which featured guest appearances from Tom Morello, Zakk Wylde, and Lana Del Rey.[6] The following December, the group had another residency at The Roxy, with guest appearances by Billy Ray Cyrus and recurring-guest Courtney Love.[7] The band's final show was on December 31, 2013.[8]


On January 24, 2014, the group announced they would no longer perform under the name Camp Freddy, and instead were starting a new cover group called Royal Machines.[9]
