WARRANT REUNITE WITH PLANS TO RELEASE A LIVE DVD - March 7, 2008

Multi-platinum selling rock band WARRANT, best known for classic MTV staples' "Cherry Pie," "Heaven," and rock anthem "The Down Boys" will co-headline the 2008 Rocklahoma Festival - marking the reunion of its original line-up including Jani Lane (vocals); Joey Allen (lead guitar); Jerry Dixon (bass); Erik Turner (Guitar) and Steven Sweet (drums) -- for the first time in 14 years. Warrant will co-headline Rocklahoma with Cinderella, it was announced today by XM's Boneyard/VH1 Classic host, Eddie Trunk, at a press conference taking place at the world famous Whisky A-Go Go. Rocklahoma is a popular four-day music festival taking place July 10-13 in Pryor, OK, which attracts an impressive worldwide audience and big ticket sales. More than 80 bands will be performing on three giant stages with an expected attendance of more than 60,000 rock fans from all 50 states, every Province in Canada and every country in Europe. This phenomenon was covered in Rolling Stone's year-end issue with an in-depth seven page spread.

Comments Warrant: "We are stoked to be back together after 14 years! The best part will be playing live again for all the fans that never got to experience the originalWarrant party band from Hollywood, CA! We also can't wait to play for all the fans who have waited so long for this reunion. Cheers - and here we go again!

Warrant will hit the road with Cinderella this summer in July immediately following Rocklahoma and also plan to release a live performance DVD later this summer. An intimate Sunset Strip club date is also expected to take place this year for loyal fans. It's been nearly 20 years and eight albums later, but the buzz surrounding Warrant remains. The band has seen many changes since their first taste of success in the late 80s/early 90s, but have always remained a key cog in the ever-changing rock landscape. Warrant has endured death, record label turnover, the loss of band members and close friends, but these hardships have only added fuel to their fire. Warrant is back.

Rocklahoma is the world's largest rock festival of its type featuring notable bands from the 80's and early 90's. Additional acts confirmed for the festival include LA Guns, Enuf Z Nuff, Beautiful Creatures, Night Ranger, XYZ, Pretty Boy Floyd, Vain, Lynch Mob, Bret Michaels, House of Lords, Jet Boy, Triumph, Kingdom Come and Tesla among others.

Warrant is managed by Carl Stubner and Blain Clausen from Sanctuary Artist Management and is represented by agents Craig Mogil and Brian Ahern from William Morris Agency.

JANI LANE'S SAINTS OF THE UNDERGROUND CD COMING OUT IN APRIL - March 7, 2008

Warrior Records will be releasing Saints Of The Underground's debut CD 'Love The Sin, Hate The Sinner' on April 22nd. Saints Of The Underground features Jani Lane of Warrant, Bobby Blotzer of Ratt, Keri Kelli of Alice Cooper/Pretty Boy Floyd, and Robbie Crane of Ratt. Audio tracks from the band can be heard at www.myspace.com/saintsoftheunderground.

The SAINTS OF THE UNDERGROUND formed in 2006 with Bobby Blotzer (Drums) and Keri Kelli (Lead Guitar) recruiting Jani Lane (Vocals) and Robbie Crane (Bass Guitar) to fill out the roster. Separately, these musicians have achieved multi-platinum success, but together they have combined their talents into an exciting new sound that fuses killer hooks, big guitars, and rock-n-roll attitude!

Although SOTU started out as four talented guys playing cover tunes and having a good time, the chemistry grew between them grew. The band naturally evolved into a creative partnership and new songs emerged. The band entered into Blotzer's Studio (for drums & bass), diamondrecordingstudio.com, and Kelli's studio (for guitar & vocals) capturing an array of original material. The result is their debut CD Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner, written and produced by Jani, Bobby, and Keri; mixed by legendary Producer/Engineer, Andy Johns, who has worked with greats such as the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.

Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner will be released April 22nd on Warrior Records, distributed via Universal Music Group Distribution.

The new CD has already been generating great buzz from the industry featuring enough heavy grooves, hooks, and memorable melodies to satisfy the most demanding rock-n-roll fans. Tracks like "All In How You Wear It," "Exit," "Signs of Life," and a mesmerizing version of the Rolling Stones classic "Moon Light Mile," have this debut rocking along to a familiar yet distinctive beat that will please fans, both old and new.

VALERIE BERTINELLI SAYS EDDIE VAN HALEN IS OKAY - March 6, 2008

Everybody's been worried about Eddie Van Halen since the reunited Van Halen cancelled some tour dates, but the guitarist's ex-wife, Valerie Bertinelli, says he's okay.

A publicist's statement about Van Halen, "undergoing a battery of comprehensive medical tests to determine a defined diagnosis and recommended medical procedures," left fans wondering if the problem was booze or a recurrence of cancer; over the phone from Ohio where she is touring in support of her new book, Losing It, Bertinelli says she completely understands the public interest in Van Halen's health.

"I just talked to him a couple of days ago. I understand the curiosity -- I was curious until I talked to him. He sounds terrific," said the actress.

"He's just being very pro-active. It's not as awful as people think it is. I'm so proud of him right now. He sounded terrific, and hopefully they'll start back up again on the 11th."
