The first band to break in the new studio is Blotzer's "Angel City Outlaws". The Los Angeles based group is comprised of musicians that when not touring or recording with their respective bands put together a " Jam Band " which has turned into an entity that is now recording a full length CD of all original material. The band features, of course, Bobby Blotzer on drums, former Warrant singer, Jani Lane, guitarist Keri Kelli (currently with Alice Cooper, Skid Row), and bassist Chuck Wright (formally with Quiet Riot). The studio is attracting a lot of interest from Texas artists as well as Blotzer's fellow L.A. musicians.
