About Beatdown Saints
Beatdown Saints is an explosive hard-rocking Americana jam band from Seattle, WA, combining classic rock-and-roll with an improvisational spirit. With influences from classic American bands like The Black Crowes, Grateful Dead, and Gov't Mule, Beatdown Saints create an unforgettable live experience, consisting of their own original music and artful covers performed in Beatdown Saints' signature style.
The band comprises Mike Setzer (Magic Carpet Ride, Born to be Wild Tour) on bass and vocals, Todd Kasper (Smokin' Js, Mind, Kiki Fabulous) on drums and vocals, and the extremely talented Marc Berger on guitar and vocals.
Mike Has played all across the United States in venues of all sizes with Magic Carpet Ride and The Born to be Wild Tour (Featuring the original keyboardist of Steppenwolf, Goldy McJohn), and he's shared the stage with Mike Pinera (Blues Image, Iron Butterfly, Alice Cooper), Jack Russell (Great White), Johnny Stachela (Allman Betts Band), and Nelson.
Todd has played events all over the Pacific Northwest with the Smokin' Js and was a founding member of the band Mind (with local bass hero Keith Lowe.) Todd has also been known to drum for Stonesy (Rolling Stones tribute) from time to time.
Marc is the insanely talented guitarist whose idea it was to form Beatdown Saints.
