THE MOB, a new Hard Rock outfit revealed in mid 2004, comprised some familiar names. Assembled by the WINGER, DOKKEN and WHITESNAKE credited guitarist REB BEACH, the act comprised his WHITESNAKE bandmate Timothy Drury on keyboards, Doug Pinnick from KING'S X on vocals and bass and, initially, QUIET RIOT drummer Frankie Banali. The group was given the working title of DEVIL CHILDREN by their record company, Italian label Frontiers. However, the musicians soon declined this already announced branding and, replacing Banali with KELLY KEAGY of NIGHT RANGER on drums and vocals, evolved into THE MOB. Working in Nashville, the unit crafted a debut album with production guidance from KIP WINGER.

Reb Beach acted as temporary live guitarist for NIGHT RANGER's summer 2007 US dates.
