The Babys Interview – EP027

The Babys co-founding members Tony Brock and Wally Stocker jumped
on a Skype call for an interview with GUR host Steven Michael for
an awesome and entertaining walk through their careers. Tony Brock
The Babys are a British rock band that formed in 1975. They
released five studio albums between ‘76 and ‘80 before reforming in
2013 to release a sixth studio album called “I’ll Have Some Of
That.” Though the band had some success with Billboard chart
climbers like “Isn’t It Time” and “Everytime I Think Of You,” they
never really exploded like some of their contemporaries. Member
changes and management changes during the recording of their third
release “Head First” didn’t help matters, nor did mega changes at
their record label. Wally Stocker In my opinion, The Babys helped
lay the blueprint in the mid ‘70s for melodic hard rock and AOR
that would birth many bands which would shape the massive rock
sound in the 80s. Over the years, The Babys lineup has included
members John Waite who had a successful solo career with the hits
“Missing You” and “Changes,” Jonathan Cain who went on to become a
integral part of Journey at the pinnacle of their career, and Ricky
Phillips who played alongside Waite, Cain and Neal Schon in Bad
English and also has been a part of Styx since ‘03. Drummer Tony
Brock went on to play with Rod Stewart for 12 years as well as for
Sir Elton John, and he also produced Australian superstars Jimmy
Barnes and Keith Urban. Lead Guitarist Wally Stocker had a
post-Babys career with Air Supply and Rod Stewart. Now in 2018 with
its newest members John Bisaha (Bass and Lead Vocals), guitarist
Joey Sykes, keyboardist Francesco Saglietti and The Babettes Holly
Bisaha and Elisa Chadbourne joining founders Brock and Stocker, the
band is back with a classic but current Babys sound. Check out
their latest release and make sure you see them live when they hit
your city. It’s worth your efforts as the band is garnering a lot
of new buzz for the live shows and their new material.
