As a former Brisbane boy, no they are not the original Saints. Just the lead singer. Still worthwile but not the same thing by a long shot.

I did a video interview with The Saints last week and just got it posted to my blog (http://brooklynrocks.blogspot.com/2007/10/saints-imperious-delirium-tour-kickoff.html)
The band added a second show on Halloween and are playing Little Steven's Underground Garage show in Times Square before playing the show at Club Midway. The Times Square show is at Hawaiian Trop Zone, 729 7th Ave.
Peace,
