Bio
..The Chelsea Smiles are a rock 'n roll band formed in 2004 featuring guitarist Todd Youth (formerly of D Generation and Danzig)... ..The band was formed by guitarist Todd Youth in the aftermath of his Danzig exit. Just before forming the Chelsea Smiles, Youth had played some shows with Motörhead filling in on guitar for Phil Campbell... ..Youth was joined in the formation of the Chelsea Smiles by drummer Karl Rosqvist ("Rockfist"), bassist Johnny Martin and guitarist Christian Martucci who had previously played with Dee Dee Ramone's band... ..Together they released a four song EP named "Nowhere Ride" in 2005 on Capitol Records. The following year, vocalist Martucci left the band to form Black President. He was replaced by Skye Vaughan Jayne, who had played in Bullets And Octane... ..The band had toured with with several notable bands such as Social Distortion, Backyard Babies, and supported The Datsuns, the Von Bondies, and the reformed New York Dolls (the latter of which they have opened for five times). A debut full length album followed on November 7, 2006 titled "Thirty Six Hours Later". The band did several U.S. tours, and also did their first headlining European tour in support of the album. ..Detroit native and LA studio musician RJ Ronquillo replaced Skye Vaughan Jayne on guitar in January of 2009. RJ, who is an in-demand studio player, met Todd Youth through the various studio work they both do in the Los Angeles area. RJ has played on albums from RICKY MARTIN, SANTANA, 2PAC and DMX, to name a few... ..The band signed a worldwide licensing deal with DR2/Demolition Records to release the group's new record which is due out in early 2009... ..In March 2009, Skye Vaughan-Jayne rejoined the band as lead vocalist, and The Chelsea Smiles joined Wednesday 13 on their "March of the Damned" tour of the UK... ....Buy the new self-titled album on iTunes!.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..!!!------------------------------------------------------------------------!!!.. ..!!!
