Biografía
The band formed all the way back in 1984 when guitarist Erik Turner grouped a line-up together and began gigging relentlessly in California. After being impressed by a band called ‘Plain Jane’, Erik decided to recruit frontman Jani Lane whose songwriting skills became a critical addition for the band.
Their work on the club scene created a bidding war that eventually saw the band landing on Columbia records and their huge advance was probably the inspiration for what became their debut album, 1989’s ‘Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich’. The album shot to number 10 in the charts and produced a succession of popular singles covering the full range of Warrant’s sound from ballads to rock anthems.
The band’s big hair and leather helped them fit in with the Hair Metal trends of the times and made them an MTV favourite alongside the likes of Motley Crue and Poison.
The bands next two albums, ‘Cherry Pie’ and ‘Dog Eat Dog’ continued the group’s success and saw them tour the world and make festival appearances at the likes of ‘Monsters of Rock’.
Deeper into the 90s though, the band struggled to deal with the cultural changes that Grunge brought and were dropped by their label. The line up changed repeatedly but the band continued strong and even reformed the original line-up in 2008 however 2011 saw the sad passing of Jani Lane. The band have managed to continue on though and toured in 2012 to promote the 20th anniversary of their biggest success, ‘Cherry Pie’.

Warrant has always been my favorite Hair Rock band from the 1980’s. They got popular for a brief window prior to Nirvana and Pearl Jam leading the grunge era into existence.
That kind of pushed Warrant and other good bands aside. They were quickly forgotten. I saw them where they opened up for the equally under rated band Posion.
Warrant had a bout 5 hit songs and they did all of those at the show. The crowd was on the older side and kind of full of older 1980’s leftovers. The music though was great.
They opened up with the song “Cherry Pie” which I can still picture the video of that song playing on MTV. They did the power ballad “Heaven” which everyone sang along to. It was really fun when that happened. They closed with “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” which is a very highly under rated rock song.
The band was great despite their age and they did play for about an hour. They also interacted with the crowd and they just had a great time.
There were not a lot of young people but it was still fun. I really hope I get the chance to see them again.
Fabulous, energetic and entertaining show! Exceeded my expectations. He not only sings superbly, but is excitingly entertaining. Additionally, his good-looks and chiseled body kept me captivated. I loved the way he adeptly handled the "props", and rhythmically tousled himself about the stage, exuding the vigor their music created.

They cancelled the show, and so did firehouse. Hopefully they reschedule or come at another place or date. It probably would have been great but I was halfway there and made a call to the Reverb and a message saying the show was cancelled played. Disappointed we were.

AMAZING. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Robert Mason is on point and they sound really crisp. That's not even starting on their incredible energy. They should have been the headlining act. Would go see them again for sure.

Warrant was great.. I wasn’t thrilled With the venue. I’ve been to tons of shows and there were too many people In
That bar.. total hazard. The meet and greet was kind of a let down too.

Great concert! Venue was great too!
This was my 5th Warrant concert in 2 years and the smallest venue I have seen them in. I thoroughly enjoyed the intimacy of the small venue.
