SIN CITY SINNERS' TODD KERNS To Undergo Surgery

July 16, 2010

SIN CITY SINNERS vocalist/guitarist Todd Kerns, who is also playing bass in legendary guitarist Slash's (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) solo band, is scheduled to undergo surgery today (Friday, July 16) for a retinal detachment in his right eye. He says, "The recovery time is longer than I would like but the outcome looks good." He adds, "I will, unfortunately, be out of commission for the next several weeks so I cannot say what tours or shows I will be a part of until we know how things look down the road. I can say that, regardless of when and where, I will be back in action as soon as physically possible.

"I have been playing almost every night for God knows how many years now and the idea of not doing so for a while is a bit unnerving. I plan to make the best of it. There's always a new song to write."

Slash's next show is scheduled for July 29 in Hong Kong.

SIN CITY SINNERS — which consists of Brent Muscat (formerly of FASTER PUSSYCAT),Todd Kerns, Mike Eliis, and Rob Cournoyer (RAGING SLAB) — will release an acoustic EP, "Broken Record", later this month. The CD will contain new versions of your favorite SINNERS songs and previously unreleased music. There will only be a limited pressing of CDs and then it will become available on iTunes.

"Goin' To Vegas", the new video from SIN CITY SINNERS, can be viewed below. The clip was directed by Jason Green and features cameos from adult-film stars Ron Jeremy and Sunny Leone, Vegas entertainer Carrot Top, plus musicians Vinnie Paul Abbott (HELLYEAH, PANTERA),Bobby Blotzer (RATT) and Eric Dover (SLASH'S SNAKEPIT).

"Goin' To Vegas" comes off SIN CITY SINNERS' debut CD, "Exile on Fremont Street", which was released earlier this year.

SIN CITY SINNERS is best known for having a special celebrity guest jam with the band each week. They were voted "Best Local Band," second only to THE KILLERS in the Las Vegas Review-Journal's "Best Of Vegas" readers' poll.
