Bio
.. Doug Amey & Billy Babjak have been collaborating on music for years. Their first project,"The Nines" with Pittsburgh drummer Phil Christ, took them on a hectic tour schedule back in the 90's playing gigs four nights a week with stops at venues such as San Francisco's legendary Fillmore and Warfield theatres. Their CD "Street Noise" received glowing reviews from the critics, and copious airplay. The band split after their second tour with The Smithereens to pursue different music projects. Recently Doug and Billy hooked up to work on some new material, and together with drummer Lorenz Cornelisen, started playing gigs in the Bay Area as Stoned Romeos. Their latest CD "Disposable Pop Songs" is the result of this new collaboration... The musical influences of this new material are wide and varied. British Invasion, Rock and Pop, American Roots, Punk, Blues, Psychedelic, you name it, they've incorporated it. The lyrics are brilliant, the melodies colorful and strong, and the unforgettable hooks never stop coming at you. Billy Babjak's stunningly powerful guitar work is at the heart of this music. He will lure you into a trance with songs such as "Empty Suit" or the haunting "Craving" and then you will be rudely awakened with the Townsend-esque power chords and driving leads on songs like "Happy" and "Bump in the Road". Doug Amey and Lorenz Cornelisen make up the driving rhythm section of the Stoned Romeos, and Billy couldn't ask for a better foundation upon which to launch his assault! Lorenz, who lives part of the year in Hamburg, Germany, plays with finesse when needed and ferocity when called for, and Billy calls for a lot of that! Doug is an insane bassist and provides the driving underbelly of this power trio. He claims "There's not much I can't do with a bass guitar, but when Billy starts playing, I figure half my job is just staying out of his way." All the material on "Disposable Pop Songs" are Amey & Babjak collaborations...
