Formed in Leeds, Yorkshire, England, Utah Saints comprises Jez
Willis (b. 14 August 1963, Brampton, Cumbria, England; ex-Cassandra
Complex) and Tim Garbutt (b. 6 January 1969, London, England; also a
DJ at the Bliss club in Leeds). Both were formerly members of MDMA,
who practised an unlikely and unappetizing hybrid of electro-gothic
dance music. They released five 12-inch singles on their own
Ecstatic Product label, the band name taken from the chemical
description for the "Ecstasy" drug, though they initially claimed
never to have actually used it. However, both were more than
familiar with developments in the club scene. After MDMA Willis
drifted into DJing, specializing in 70s disco evenings (Garbutt had
already performed widely in such a role from the late 80s onwards).
Together they established their name at their own "Mile High Club"
nights at The Gallery in Leeds; these were such a success that
corresponding events also transferred to York and then London. They
then returned to recording, taking the Utah Saints name from the
Nicolas Cage movie, Raising Arizona (it had previously been employed
on a MDMA b-side). The duo's move to house music, using samples and
a driving backbeat, proved much more successful than the efforts of
their former incarnation.
After acclimatizing to the charts with 1991's UK Top 10 hit "What
Can You Do For Me" (featuring a Eurythmics sample), they produced
the Top 5 hit "Something Good". This was built around a Kate Bush
sample (the line "I just know that something good is going to
happen") from "Cloudbusting", but it had other strengths too. As
Willis elaborated: "We're trying to get a bit of rock 'n' roll into
rave." They later backed Neneh Cherry on a version of the Rolling
Stones' "Gimme Shelter" for the Putting Our House In Order campaign
for the homeless in 1993, one of several acts to release the song.
Their own follow-up was the Top 10 hit "Believe In Me", this time
featuring a sample of Philip Oakey of the Human League singing "Love
Action". Other steals, meanwhile, are less obvious, and include
heavy metal Satanists Slayer and industrial funk band Front 242.
Utah Saints sold over a quarter of a million copies in the USA
(where it was released first) in addition to its UK success. This
was compounded by international touring with a wide range of bands.
In just two weeks in 1993 they supported East 17, Take That and U2
at Wembley Stadium, then joined Moby and the Prodigy in Europe
before returning to Leeds to support the Mission and Sisters Of
Mercy.
Their first release in over a year, "Ohio", arrived in August 1995.
This utilized a Jocelyn Brown sample (her 1984 hit "Somebody Else's
Guy"), but a projected album was never released due to a dispute
with their record label. Despite this, their playful instincts
continue to offer an accessible bridge between rock audiences and
the house movement, although their work ethic remains almost
non-existent. Garbutt's busy DJing schedule took in a stint at New
York's The Tunnel, while Willis continued to tinker in the studio.
Remixing work for Alabama 3, Nina Hagen, Simple Minds, Hawkwind and
the Osmonds was followed, in January 2000, by a rare new Utah Saints
track, "Love Song". Their second album, succinctly titled Two,
followed in October.

MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.
For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
