Joe Elliott from Def Leppard

The Down ‘n’ Outz project was born in 2009 when Mott The Hoople reformed and asked long-time friend and fan Joe Elliott to get involved. Joe formed Down ‘n’ Outz with Paul Guerin, Guy Griffin, Keith Weir and Phil Martini. Together they looked to bring songs by Mott The Hoople and spin off projects of Mott, Ian Hunter and British Lions to a wider audience.In 2009, Down ‘n’ Outz supported Mott The Hoople at one of the band’s five Hammersmith Apollo shows. Fan interest led the band to put together an album and in 2011, they released the critically acclaimed debut My Re-Generation through Mailboat Records (Joe Perry, Walter Becker, Chris Isaak, Jeff Bridges). My Re-Generation included the singles “England Rocks” and “Overnight Angels,” that reached No. 4 and No. 1 respectively on the US Media Base Rock chart – keeping Eric Clapton’s new single off the top of the chart for 2 weeks. The band released a live DVD taken from those initial shows called “Live at Hammersmith Apollo.” A second studio album The Further Adventures of…was released in 2014 featuring the single “Rock and Roll Queen.” New bassist Share Ross (Vixen) debuted on 2017’s live album and DVD The Further Live Adventures Of…

A stunning live act – having toured with the likes of Paul Rogers across the UK (Including The Royal Albert Hall) and festival performances including High Voltage and Planet Rockstock, Down ‘n’ Outz are planning live dates to support This Is How We Roll.
