Todd 'Dammit' Kerns, a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and
producer, is the current bass player/backing vocalist for SLASH and Lead
Singer/guitaris of Vegas’ best rock band THE SIN CITY SINNERS.
In Todd’s earlier years, he was well known for being the voice of Canuck

The Roxy in LA to CBGBs in New York City to Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto,

Born and reared in Smallville, Canada, Todd first garnered attention with
his band THE AGE OF ELECTRIC, who went on to attain Gold selling status as
well as being nominated for a Juno. THE AGE OF ELECTRIC worked with
legendary producers such as Bob Rock (Metallica) and Gil Norton (Foo
Fighters). THE AGE OF ELECTRIC is still remembered as one of Canada’s
favorite alternative rock bands of the 90’s.
After THE AGE OF ELECTRIC Todd and brother, former AOE bass player, John
formed STATIC IN STEREO with youngest brother Ryan. STATIC IN STEREO’s self
titled album went on to receive critical acclaim and secured Todd’s place as
a fixture on the Canadian music scene.
In 2004 Todd released his first solo album GO TIME. A collection of original
songs influenced by the artists closest to Todd’s heart including T-Rex,
Bowie, MC5 and The Stooges, GO TIME is in a class of its own, getting back
to the heart of true Rock N’ Roll.
Todd has appeared on albums by such artists as THE MATTHEW GOOD BAND, BIF
NAKED and THE NEVERENDING WHITE LIGHTS. He is respected as one of Canada’s
most dependable vocalists.
In the past (and present) Todd has delved into his other passion, production
and songwriting with other musicians. He has produced and written with a
number of artists and continues to share his knowledge of all things musical
with people he believes in. Artists such as BRITT BLACK, MOTION SOUNDTRACK,
SUPERBEING, THE FLAIRS, SEVENTH RAIN, JOSHUA’S HABIT, A SINGLE FEW, AKA,
CROP CIRCLE, THE UNDERGROUND REBELS and more have all benefited from Todd’s
helping hand.
In 2007 production projects brought Todd to Las Vegas where Todd joined
Brent Muscat's FASTER PUSSYCAT which toured Europe for it's 20th
anniversary.
Upon returning to Vegas Kerns and Muscat formed what would grow to be Vegas'
most beloved rock band THE SIN CITY SINNERS. The Sinners release Exile On
Fremont Street in early 2010 to much local acclaim.
In spring of 2010 Todd was asked to tour with Guns N Roses legend Slash in
support of his solo album as bassist and backing vocalist. Todd accepted the
challenge and will be touring into 2011 around the world with the guitar
hero.
Todd divides his time between Slash and the Sinners as well as his other
projects.
Never a dull moment.
