Ex-Warrant singer Jani Lane now fronting Great White

If you happened to catch the clip on YouTube of Great White singer Jack Russell falling on stage earlier this summer (fast forward to 2:12), you know that Russell’s in pretty bad shape following a number of health issues.

At the end of August, it was announced that ex-Warrant singer Jani Lane (most recently in the news due to a DUI) would be filling in the rest of Great White’s tour dates for 2010. The biggest question was which Jani Lane would show up – the drunk one who was booted from Warrant’s reunion tour in 2008 or the sober, top-of-his-game one that I saw perform a great show at the Alrosa in 2007?

You be the judge. Here’s Jani Lane singing “Face the Day” with Great White on October 1.

Here are the remaining tour dates for Great White in 2010.

MP3: Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s – “New York City Hotel Blues”

MP3: New York City Hotel Blues

The new Brian Deck-produced album, Buzzard, will be out Sept. 21 on Margot’s own Mariel Recordings (with distro via Redeye), and the next day (9/22) the recently downsized band (featuring Super Dessert and Tiara alum Erik Kang) will play Circus with the Lonely Forest and Cameron McGill & What Army. Tickets here.

I don’t think you can call Margot chamber-pop anymore.
