He is best known for being the bassist for the Christian rock band Relient K[1] as well as being a founding member of the Christian punk band Ace Troubleshooter.[2] His hometown is Minneapolis, Minnesota, and he now lives in Golden, Colorado.
Warne originally started filling in as a bassist for Relient K in September 2004, after Brian Pittman left the band less than a month earlier. Warne joined Relient K as the full-time bassist and backing vocalist in February 2005. He contributed to four Relient K projects, and four full-length albums, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, Forget and Not Slow Down, Is for Karaoke, and Collapsible Lung. He also provided back-up vocals for two songs on Relient K's 2004 album Mmhmm. Warne also animated the band's flash cartoon, Woodland Forest.
Warne is a founding member of the now-defunct Christian punk band Ace Troubleshooter, in which he played guitar and sang lead vocals. The band was active from 1996 to 2004, recording five full-length albums, the first two independently released and the last three released under the record label Tooth & Nail Records or its affiliate BEC Recordings.
In 2004, Warne participated in the short-lived band Guerilla Rodeo, playing bass. The band's only record was a three-track EP.
