Down 'n' Outz are an English band featuring members from Def Leppard, The Quireboys, and Raw Glory. The group covers bands and artists related to Mott the Hoople including Mott, British Lions, and Ian Hunter. Their debut album, My ReGeneration, was released in 2010, and was followed by a DVD release of the band's show at Hammersmith Odeon. The band's second studio album was released in April 2014.
The band was formed by Joe Elliott from Def Leppard, London rock drummer Phil Martini, Ronnie Garrity from Raw Glory, and Paul Guerin, Guy Griffin, and Keith Weir from The Quireboys, to open for Mott the Hoople on the last night of the ensemble's tour at London's Hammersmith Apollo in 2009. The band then decided to record an album, produced by Elliott and Ronan McHugh, which was recorded in Elliott's personal studio with basic tracking done at Moor Hall studio Bedfordshire by engineer Chris Corney. A ten-track version of the album, My ReGeneration, was available with the 23 June 2010 edition of Classic Rock magazine, prior to the full album's release on 13 July of the same year.
In March 2011, it was revealed that the band parted ways with Ronnie Garrity, and they intend to publish original material for their third album, rather than their fourth.
In March 2014, details of the band's second studio album, The Further Adventures Of..., were announced. The album was released on 21 April 2014.
