History

The band's formation happened quite unexpectedly. The four musicians were playing cover tunes together for fun during off times from their respective groups. They so enjoyed their chemistry that the band naturally evolved into a creative partnership through which original songs began to emerge.[1] The band was originally called "Angel City Outlaws" when they posted their first two promo singles, "Bruised" and "Exit",[2] along with a third song, "Serial Killer", which wasn't included on the band's first album as it was written for an Alice Cooper project.[3]

The band's studio album Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner (2008) was recorded in Bobby Blotzer's studio (bass and drums) and Keri Kelli's studio (guitars and vocals), and produced by Kelli and Blotzer with Jani Lane and Chuck Wright.[4] It was mixed by producer-engineer Andy Johns, who worked with such bands as The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.[5]

After the CD's release and live performances with Robbie Crane on bass guitar, Jani Lane returned to Warrant as lead vocalist, and toured briefly with the band until departing again in the end of summer 2008. Keri Kelli returned to touring with Alice Cooper while Bobby Blotzer and Robbie Crane were touring with their band, Ratt. Chuck Wright, working with Quiet Riot at the time, opted to leave the touring bass position to friend Robbie Crane as Wright continued with Quiet Riot and his acoustic band, Acoustic Saints.

On August 11, 2011, Jani Lane was found dead in a hotel room in Woodland Hills, California.[6] With his passing, Saints Of The Underground disbanded.

Saints of the Underground — американская хард-рок-группа, созданная в 2006 году барабанщиком Ratt Бобби Блотцером и гитаристом Кери Келли, в то время игравшем у Элиса Купера. Они пригласили бывшего вокалиста Warrant Джени Лэйна и басиста Ratt Робби Крэйна. Сначала музыканты в свободное от участия в основных группах время играли кавер-версии любимых песен. Им так понравилось взаимопонимание, царящее на этих джем-сессиях, что они начали размышлять о написании собственного материала[1]. Первоначальным названием группы было Angel City Outlaws.
