Straight.com recently conducted an interview with Todd Kerns, frontman for SIN CITY SINNERS and bassist for SLASH (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES). Excerpts from the interview are below:

On singing lead with Slash's band on a couple of songs: "On the last solo album Slash did he had IGGY POP and Lemmy from MOTÖRHEAD singing on a couple of tracks, and he really wanted to do those songs, and Myles (Kennedy) just sorta went: 'Let Todd sing those, I can’t sing that kinda stuff.' So it's a pretty challenging gig. People think it’s like a walk in the park playing bass with Slash, but you gotta keep in mind there was Duff McKagan on the GUNS N' ROSES stuff, there’s Mike Inez of SLASH’S SNAKEPIT on stuff, Chris Chaney from JANE'S ADDICTION plays on the solo album--very talented people. And then on every song there’s some sort of impossibly challenging vocal harmony to try and hit, and to try and do well. So I’ve definitely grown in doing it."

On how his bandmates in the Sin City Sinners took the news that he was joining up with Slash: "Well that was a bit awkward, only because, you know, these kind of things are thrown at you, the opportunities come up and you go: 'Geez, I have to do this.' As much as I was invested and really loved my life here in Vegas and the things that we’d established, it was like: 'I have to pursue this thing and see where it takes me.' So I’m back (with the Sin City Sinners) right now, and we’re playing together. We’re doing an awards show this coming week—we have like Vince Neil from MÖTLEY CRÜE and SEBASTIAN BACH and Lemmy and all these people coming out, and there’s very likely gonna be a huge jam session and stuff like that. So the Sinners have become very much a Vegas staple as far as like, if you want to go see a rock band, you go see the Sinners."

On the possibility of an AGE OF ELECTRIC reunion: "Nobody really regrets that that band didn’t carry on. It’s like looking back at a relationship and thinking: 'Oh, we woulda had a very happy family and a nice house with a white picket fence but it didn’t work out.' And that’s kind of how it feels like with that band, because that band was really special and really magical, and that’s something that I have constantly been sort of seeking out the rest of my life—that kind of connection. The fact is that we’re all still alive, and I have no doubt in my mind that at some point, somewhere, those four guys are going to play together, and it’s going to be amazing!"
