Dougie Niemans (Born Mar 20, 1979, High River, Alberta)
Frontman for Stone Pony from 2001-2005, recorded The Flowers Of Romance and Life At Spahn Ranch. After disbanding Stone Pony, Niemans began solo project The DNB and released Fame and Loathingin 2005. The project, influenced by a trip to Mexico with Perry Farrell and Thievery Corporation, explored the more poetic, acoustic side of Niemans. Combining spoken word over music, with straight up catchy pop, the album opened the minds of the listeners.
Jan. 2007, Niemans has begun work on The DNB sophomore album, as yet untitled. The album is set to be an epic 20 track explosion using many different instruments and guest appearances. Expect pianos, keyboards, bongos, harmonicas, 12 strings, electric drums and other homemade beats.
Dougie Niemans has acted in movies, shorts and music videos and continues to push the envelope of creativity. In 2006 he formed The Rubbers, a grunge rock band and released a 9 track self titled LP. Niemans is currently developing and producing a documentary titled As the river widens. This film explores the materialistic rise and community reducing spin the economy has put on small towns. Release date, summer 2007.
