Thanks to all the supporters out there who have been visiting this site and sending in comments and notes, even though OMEGA BABY has been quiet for some time now. Here is the band's current status. The auditioning of new singers went on for quite a while without any success. Even though there were many talented folks we ran into along the way, the feeling here was to either do it right or not do it at all. So it seemed that the time had come to move on to new projects.

Cliff and Jon have recently finished their long-awaited side project, THE McGEES, whose difficult-to-categorize debut album "DIMESTORE ROMEOS" has just been released, and is available through Amazon.com. Jon is also playing guitar and co-writing with Andrea, a female singer/songwriter with a unique pop/ acoustic-rock/ alternative blend. Edmond has gone back to school, where he is majoring in Liberal Arts and is extremely proud of his 4.0 average. And big congrats go out to Matt, who, after extensive auditioning, was chosen to play drums with the Las Vegas production of the amazing performance show Blue Man Group.

EARLY 1999 NEWS: As of the new year, OMEGA BABY has parted ways with singer Edmond Ordez, due to creative and professional differences. Currently Jon, Cliff and Matt are in the studio recording new material and auditioning singers. We'd like to thank everyone who supported us this past year and hope we can count on your support in the future as soon as we get the ball rolling once again.

Thanks and Happy New Year to all, and be sure to check this space for future news and announcements.
