Gene Ehrbar (Vocals & Guitar)
Gene Ehrbar has had a bordering-on-unhealthy obsession with Bowie's Ziggy Stardust character for as long as he can remember. A singer and guitarist with an eclectic background, Gene got his start playing ambient incidental music for theater productions in high school, and has been hooked on the intersection of sound and vision ever since. He plays guitar and sings in The Walkaways, and has performed with various Portland-based bands, including Corner Office Suicide, Magnificent Funktopus, and Portland favorites Earl & The Reggae Allstars.
Nate Silverman (Guitar & Vocals)
Nate Silverman has played and recorded with several San Francisco bands including Foreverland (14 piece Michael Jackson tribute), Steely Wonder (Steely Dan and Stevie Wonder cover band) and original rock band Crackerjack Highway. He's also recorded and collaborated on albums with acclaimed bay area musicians Alan Hertz (Garaj Mahal), Eric Levy (Night Ranger) & Eric McFadden (Eric McFadden Trio). Nate's style ranges from fiery classic rock style chops to tasty jazz flavored melodic passages.
Kenichi Nakamura (Bass)
Kenichi has been playing and writing music since he could hit keys with tiny fists. He mostly played guitars for stage productions of JC Superstar/Tommy, university jazz bands, and various other groups in LA before moving to Portland in 1998; then moved on to bass, drums, and keys for Portland acts such as the defunct synth-driven trio Chazmadar and the current project Devilbots.
Robb Milne (Drums & Vocals)
Robb Milne (aka Skipp) has led eclectic rock music projects in Portland since he was a teenager. He spent chunks of past decades writing, recording, touring, and gigging regularly as well as studying music, art, and design in college. He plays many instruments and sings, but drums are where he started and always returns to. Notable projects include Tilting at Windmills, Johnson Family, The Freemartins, and Rhinofalcon. His latest project, Devilbots, is a sci-fi rock-opera and includes Kenichi Nakamura on bass and his wife, Barbara Allen on lead vocals.
Barbara Allen (Vocals)
Barbara Allen began her illustrious singing career in Grade 1 in McMinnville, Oregon, After rigorous tryouts (probably), she was awarded the solo on the intro to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” (thank you, Sister Margaret Mary!). She took a couple/few decades off after that. Circa 2006 CE, she joined The Freemartins as a co-lead vocalist alongside Robb Milne. Since then, Barbara and Robb have been making music together in multiple projects (Rhinofalcon, Devilbots, Tobe Anderson). Thanks to Kenichi Nakamura for inviting both Barbara and Robb to join in the splendor that is Dr. Spaceman!
