Utah Saints

Utah Saints is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Eurythmics, Gwen Guthrie, Kate Bush, Crown Heights Affair and Slayer. Those roots explain a lot about how Utah Saints arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Felix, Adamski, Praga Khan, Bomb the Bass and SL2, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Example, High Contrast, Ian Carey, Girls Aloud and Bring Me the Horizon, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 36 connections around Utah Saints, reaching back through Eurythmics and forward to Example.

Background

Utah Saints are an English electronic music duo consisting of members Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt. The band had three top-ten and another five top-40 singles on the UK Singles Chart in the 1990s, as well as number-one dance tracks in the UK and US. They were notable for pioneering use of sampling technology, in particular, their practice of manipulating samples from mainstream pop, rock, R&B and soul songs and combining them with contrasting dance beats, using the samples in a new context. The band wrote, produced and mixed all of their own music. The duo were joined on stage by additional musicians when they played live from 1991 to 2001. They were one of the first electronic groups to play as a live collective and supported both the Shamen and U2 live at 10 stadium shows. Since then the duo have performed live sets themselves.
