Sin City Sinners is a group of prominent musicians who perform self-penned originals and rock and roll covers at key venues throughout Las Vegas, Nevada. The band is composed of a tight-knit group of core members: Brent Muscat (ex-Faster Pussycat), guitar; Todd Kerns (Age of Electric, Static in Stereo, Slash), lead vocals and guitar; and Rob Cournoyer (Raging Slab), drums. In addition, Sin City Sinners' performances regularly feature appearances by many notable musicians, comedians, actors, and other entertainers. The group started around 2007, and was spun off from an earlier "Sin City All-Stars" band that featured Brent Muscat and Louie Merlino, amongst others.
In 2009 The Sin City Sinners decided to finally put some of their originals and favorites into their debut CD. The CD "Exile on Fremont Street" was produced by frontman Todd Kerns and released in early 2010. The album was met with rave reviews. The hard work of the Sin City Sinners also garnished them the title of "Best In Vegas - Editor's Pick" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
In mid-2010, Todd Kerns was offered the "opportunity of a lifetime" for any guitar player; to go on tour with Slash. Todd joined Slash on his solo album promotion tours and continues to front the Sin City Sinners when in Las Vegas. While Todd was on tour, the Sinners continued on with help from Louie Merlino (Beggars & Thieves) Jimmy Crespo (Aerosmith) and Scott Griffin (LA Guns)
On December 17, 2010 The Sin City Sinners released the all acoustic album titled "Broken Record" On November 25, 2011 the band released the holiday CD "A Sinners Christmas" produced by Brent Muscat & Tom Parham and executive produced by Jason Green. "A Sinners Christmas" included guest appearances by George Lynch, Ron Keel, Slim Jim Phantom (The Stray Cats) Jizzy Pearl (RATT,Love/Hate) Pete Loran (Trixter) Louie Merlino (Beggars & Thieves) Frank Dimino (Angel) & Sammy Serious (The Zeros)
In early 2012, long-time bassist Michael "Doc" Ellis left the band, and was replaced by Zach Throne, who has appeared in a number of movies and television shows, and has done music for such as well. In 2013, Michael Ellis returned to play bass and sing, with Zach Throne taking the front man spot while Todd Kerns was on tour with Slash.
