Best known as the guitarist of BACKYARD BABIES and as a founding member of the HELLACOPTERS, Dregen made his live debut as the guitarist of Monroe's solo band in June 2011 at Kalasatama in Helsinki as the support act for the FOO FIGHTERS.

Dregen was a member of the HELLACOPTERS from the band's inception in 1994 until 1998, at which point he decided to focus on BACKYARD BABIES.

BACKYARD BABIES announced in November 2009 that they were going on an indefinite hiatus after completing a European tour.
