On Friday, March 19th at The Cat Club in Hollywood, California, SIN CITY SINNERS will perform live at their Exile On Fremont Street CD release party. The Cat Club is located at 8911 W Sunset Blvd.

Sin City Sinners vocalist/guitarist Todd Kerns has provided the following track by track commentary of the first four songs on Exile On Fremont Street:

'Numb' - "This is an aggressive barn burner. Rob 'Boom Boom' Cornouyer comes crashing in like a herd of amphetamine filled elephants. Thematically it's a bit of a jumble. Famous for nothing and movie of the weak is in reference to our worship of empty celebrity. There was a time where our heroes were people who had achieved great things with amazing skills. Now magazine covers are filled with people who have very little experience in being amazing or achieving much of anything. This song is under constant criticism for drug references. Sister Morphine is a STONES reference and is more metaphoric than anything. I'm not actually suggesting we all take morphine and novocaine to numb ourselves to life's problems. It's more like I miss the days when my heroes were great singers or actors not heiresses and amateur porn actors. it's like saying if I have to see one more Paris Hilton story I will gouge my eyes out with a dull spoon. Instead I would rather numb myself to it with television and video games or whatever. Social morphine/novocaine. Ellis came up with an idea to have conversational voices building and building at the tail end of the third verse into the final choruses. You can hear them over the 'She talks and she talks and she talks....' section. They grow and grow til finally 'Ah Shut Up!' Like the voices in your head getting louder and louder. Or mind numbing magazine covers. Like Jeff Buckley once said, 'People magazine and Cuervo Tequila both induce failure.' He was a wise, wise man."

'Turn It Up' - "This song answers the lifelong question, 'How does it feel?' I suppose the answer would be 'Who cares? Turn it up, Dammit!' This song has variations from it's original appearance on my solo album. We added a modulating section that highlights Brent's great, slinky guitar solo. That's a gang of us shouting in the background including the band and co-producer, Kurt Frohlich. That's me reading the PSA over the bass re-intro. I just googled the effects of loud music on hearing, printed it out, read it and pitch transposed my voice. I have credited that warning to Professor C. Merrill Devereaux, Acting Chairman of the Turn It Down Committee. It's like one of those cheesey '80s videos where it's supposed to be in the future and some evil force has banned rock music. This is how I occupy my time... It's no surprise that the bad guy on KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park is named Devereaux."

'It's Not You It's Me' - "For a song as special to me as this one you think I'd be super precious about it but there are some big structural changes made from the solo album version. We all know the theme. I want this relationship to end. I don't care how. I'll take all the blame for it just please, please go away. I've said it before but the second verse is often misinterpreted. It says, 'I'll take my BOWIE records, You keep your Tapestry, I'll even let you keep The Bends.' I have never cared about material possessions. Only my record collection!!! I'll take my Bowie records. You take your 'Tapestry'. Tapestry was an album by CAROLE KING. I always remember my friends' older sisters and mothers having that record. It was a huge album when I was a little kid and I've always equated it as a female anthem record. The Bends is the second album by RADIOHEAD. One of my faves at the time. Still an amazing record. It's bartering. Look, I'll take my records, you keep yours and you can even keep the ones we bought 'together'. A lot of people think it's 'The Benz'. As in Mercedes. As in you can keep the fine German, luxury car. Anyone who knows me knows I could care less about that. I would gladly give up a car. Never my music! One of the greatest feelings in the world is people singing along to this song. The breakdown of the final verse-'but I've never been so happy' often gets a rousing participation."

'Ah! Leah' - "This is a song by DONNIE IRIS. I saw him do this song on a show called Solid Gold when I was a kid. I used to love that show. I saw THE VAPORS do 'Turning Japanese' on that show too. Great show. 'Ah! Leah' was amazing so I bought his album, Back On The Streets, immediately. When I say I, I mean I convinced my Mom to buy it with gentle nagging and careful harassment. I have done this song in almost every band I've been in. THE AGE OF ELECTRIC played it in clubs, STATIC IN STEREO recorded a demo of it but I've never released a version of it until now. When the Sinners started doing it, it became a fave of our people pretty quickly so it was a no brainer to include it on Exile. It's a great song. It's certainly a lot more lush than anything I would write on my own. 3, 4 and 5 part harmonies. Crazy. The band did a good job of reinterpreting this song without being too precious to the original while keeping it's spirit. It's certainly more aggressive."
