Saints in Hell was a cover band formed in the early eighties that consisted of a young Tom Keifer, EricBrittingham, and Billy Graham.
Despite the band's name, Keifer and Brittingham are not Satanists.
He said “We’d try to rehearse and after five minutes people would start swinging at each other.” Saints in Hell did have one positive side-effect: Keifer met bassist EricBrittingham, on Halloween night, 1980, in a bar bathroom.
Eric has been working non-stop on the new Naked Beggars record since January, which was preceded by an 8 month tour, and as the final mastering is nearing completion, he is about to set out with Cinderella for the Rock Never Stops summer tour with Ratt, Quiet Riot and Firehouse.
Eric was kind enough to lend me some time from his busy schedule to chat for a little bit, and now I bring that to you, oh faithful Glam-Metal reader enjoy!
Here Eric talks briefly about how he is actually looking forward to a break by touring with Cinderella as opposed to Naked Beggars which is a more low-budget road show complete with a 1988 RV with a trailer hooked up to it, and the band acting as their own crew and management.
