The Down 'n' Outz is the name of the group Joe Elliott of Def Leppard will front during an opening set before Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople perform at London's Hammersmith Odeon (10/6) (story).  Elliott says the band will do a set of the songs Mott The Hoople members did after that group disbanded, mining the solo catalog of Ian Hunter, Mott and the British Lions. Elliott did a guest vocal appearance with Cheap Trick at the Las Vegas Hilton during their Beatles tribute last weekend (9/19), joing the group for on Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and All You Need Is Love.
