Train

Songs like ‘Calling All Angles’ and ‘Drops of Jupiter’ made Train (a pop rock band from San Francisco), inescapable during the turn of 21st century. Since the mid nineties, the group has sold millions of records worldwide and has been appreciated with a number of Grammy Awards in the category of ‘Best Performance’, ‘Best Rock Song’ and ‘Best Instrumental Arrangement’ among others. Last year its song, ‘Hey Soul Sister’ ruled the pop rock genre by staying on top of the Billboard Music Charts and by winning three awards in a row including ASCAP Pop Music Award, Nickelodeon kids Choice Award and Billboard Music Award. Train is all set for another journey on the track of success with its release of sixth album ‘California 37’ and is making a stopover in your town to deliver a live performance. Train tickets are available now at discounted rates.

The era of nineties is famous for fierce competition among pop music groups. A number of bands came into being during that tenure and those who could not survive through the competition gave up. Led Zeppelin Cover Band was one such group that got dissolved and its lead singer Pat Monahan had to find another resort to practice his passion. He along with Rob Hotchkiss (former musician in the band Apostles) got together and started playing in coffee houses. As the duo started getting appreciation, it included other talented musicians to form a proper group. This was the time when Train had all its passengers in and was ready for a joyous ride.

With the passage of time, the band earned a huge fan following in San Francisco and slowly its popularity stated spreading. Singles from its self titled debut album including ‘Free, I Am’ and others were a big hit on rock stations and made the album earn a Platinum certification by RIAA shortly. The trend then continued with the albums like ‘Drops of Jupiter’, ‘My Private Nation’ and by now makes up a total of six successful releases.

Train was formed with a belief to write and perform outstanding songs that would appeal to maximum audiences. It applies a straightforward approach to music and makes use of honest and strong songwriting in composing melodies. The lead singer of the band Pat Monahan has often been found commenting that ‘In our case the whole group is involved in songwriting. We inspire each other in a mutual and constructive way’. The band’s music is known in the industry to be eccentric and flirtatious at the same time and for it Train claims to get inspiration from events or people around them.

Train has sold over 14 million copies of its albums so far and is anticipating this figure to grow by leaps and bounds in the future. Apart from good music, it is also famous for delivering outstanding live performances. According to the band “We enjoy the road. It is only during your live performances that you can get instant gratification. Every day you get to hear comments like ‘You are great’ and ‘Keep it up’ etc. People go crazy for your autograph. These are the things that we have been dreaming since our childhood”.

Train has recently launched its brand new album California 37 and is conducting a promotional tour for all its fans around the world. Train tickets have been issued for all those who want to have the time of their lives. Have you got your pass yet? If not then you need to hurry because the queues are extending every day.
