Steve
(bass, synth & vocals) began his musical journey in California, playing everywhere from the Sunset Strip to Dallas. Returning to Michigan and playing in original groups, he joined Robot Lovers, playing the music which inspired him to become a bassist.

Brian
(drums & vocals), a veteran of the Detroit music scene, has pounded the skins in numerous rock and pop bands since Day One. A rock-solid rhythm-keeper with a painter’s eye toward color, Brian contributed his artistic talents to the band’s logo and promotional materials.
Chuck
(vocals, acoustic guitar & keyboards), has played in various local bands since he was 17. His mission is to keep the dance floor full.
Derf
(guitar) likes to spin LPs backwards, thus his name.

 

History

Robot Lovers, power pop rock band, came together in the summer of 2002 as a trio to perform covers of ‘80s new wave tunes by artists such as The Police, The Knack, U2 and The Stray Cats. Co-founders Gerry “Paz” (bass guitar, bass fiddle and vocals) and Brian Sabalinski (drums and vocals) envisioned the band as a welcome choice to the alternative, grunge and heavy metal bands that comprised Detroit’s live music scene.

After several fruitless auditions, the pair enlisted Derf (guitar and vocals) to complete the band’s initial lineup. As a trio, they scorched stages throughout southeastern Michigan until early 2005, when they decided to add Chuck on lead vocals, acoustic guitar and keyboards. In June 2007, Paz left to tend to his burgeoning business and Steve joined on bass and bass synth. This band screams!

Robot Lovers specialize in making a four-piece band sound much larger than it actually is because of the chemistry of Steve, Brian, Chuck and Derf. Come out and witness their masterful and enthusiastic performances of ‘80s tunes much loved, but long forgotten, by the masses. You won't be disappointed.
