Billy Milne
Bill is the drummer and back up vocalist for Babylon Sisters. His love of the drums began when he was 8 years old, drumming in his grammar school’s Drum Corps. In his teen years he belonged to several rock bands, and started playing in clubs right after high school. During that time he met a neighborhood singer/songwriter, Billy Falcon. Bill toured in support of the band’s debut album ‘Billy Falcon’s Burning Rose.’ They played various venues such as My Father’s Place, CBGBs, and Max’s Kansas City. They eventually recorded 4 albums and played the Park Pop Festival in the Netherlands, along with k.d. Lang and T’Pau.
Bill went on to join ‘SPYS’ with bassist Ed Galgliardi and keyboard player Al Greenwood of ‘Foreigner.’ ‘SPYS’ recorded 2 albums with a single “Don’t Run My Life” receiving massive airplay, and their video “She Can’t Wait” was in heavy rotation on the fledgling MTV. They toured with ‘38 Special’ and played 20,000 seat halls, including the prestigious Palladium in NYC among others. Bill is excited to be part of this amazing project playing with such seasoned musicians
