Saints of The Underground was a hard rock supergroup that was formed in 2006 by Ratt drummer Bobby Blotzer and now former Alice Cooper guitarist Keri Kelli, who recruited ex-Warrant singer Jani Lane and House of Lords bassist Chuck Wright.
Band History[edit]
The formation of Saints Of The Underground happened quite unexpectedly, as the four musicians started out 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 titled 'Serial Killer' which didn't feature on the band's first album because it was written for an Alice Cooper project.[3]
The band's studio album was released in 2008, titled Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner and was recorded in Bobby Blotzer's studio (for bass and drums) and Keri Kelli's studio (for guitars and vocals), produced by Kelli and Blotzer along with Jani Lane and Chuck Wright.[4] The album was mixed by legendary producer/engineerAndy Johns who worked with such bands as The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.[5]
After the release of the CD, 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 are 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 at a hotel room in Woodland Hills, California.[6] With his passing, Saints Of The Underground disbanded the project.

There was a previous station on the same site, called Poplar station, which was served by the North London Railway. The location of this station can be seen in the bottom-right hand corner of the Map of Poplar, 1885.
Serco announced that from 24 August 2009, the frequency on the Stratford to Lewisham branch would be reduced at peak times to one train every seven minutes, from the current five-minute frequency. This was to accommodate a flyover that increased frequencies by 30 seconds on the Bank to Lewisham line.[5]

On the DLR, All Saints serves trains on only one branch: Stratford to Lewisham. The Stratford to Lewisham branch only runs during morning peak hours; at other times trains from Stratford terminate at Canary Wharf.[6] Passengers bound for Tower Gateway, Beckton, or Woolwich Arsenal must change at Poplar.
