Utah Saints is an English dance band based in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. The music is produced by Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt, who are joined on-stage by other musicians whenever the band plays live. The band had three top ten singles in the UK Singles Chart in the 1990s, and were notable for their extensive use of sampling technology — in particular, their practice of manipulating samples from mainstream pop and rock songs and combining them with contrasting dance beats.
The band are also notorious for taking a long time in between their releases - their first album Utah Saints and follow-up album Two were released seven years apart.
