The Dream Syndicate

L2R: Mark Walton, Dennis Duck, Steve Wynn, Paul B. CutlerDream Syndicate were the brainchild of Steve Wynn who along with Karl Precoda, Kendra Smith and Dennis Duck completed the first line-up of the band. The band's first album was recorded in September '82 - the seminal “The Days Of Wine And Roses”. A deal with A&M followed and “Medicine Show” resulted in '84. The Band then moved to Demon Records and ultimately to Chrysalis. Steve Wynn eventually tired of the band and after a couple of solo-albums joined U.S. indie supergroup Gutterball (along with ex Long Ryder Stephen McCarthy).
