Train Concert Tickets 2006
Tour
The group started out in San Francisco with only
two members, Rob Hotchkiss and Patrick Monahan, performing in
coffee houses and local clubs. After deciding to form a full
band, the duo recruited Jimmy Stafford on guitar, Charlie Colin
on bass and, at a later date, Scott Underwood as drummer.
By 1997 they went on tour, opening concerts for
groups such as the Barenaked Ladies and Counting Crows.
Their first major hit was Meet Virginia from their
self-titled 1998 debut. Later on they also had two other songs
which reached #1 on the Billboard Adult Top 40: the title track
from their second album, Drops of Jupiter, and "Calling
All Angels" from 2003's My Private Nation.
When Drops Of Jupiter was released in March 2001,
the title track "Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me)" was already
a hit on several Billboard charts. By June 2001, Drops Of Jupiter
was RIAA-certified platinum. By April 2002, the single had spent
a total of 53 weeks on the Hot 100. It won a Best Rock Song
Grammy for Train, as well as a Best Arrangement Grammy for Paul
Buckmaster.
Both Drops Of Jupiter (2001) and My Private Nation
(2003) were recorded at Southern Tracks Recording in Atlanta,
GA and produced by famed rock producer Brendan O' Brien.
Towards the end of 2002 co-founder Rob Hotchkiss
left Train and the band's third album, My Private Nation, was
released in June of 2003. Bassist Charlie Colin left Train in
October 2003. However, in 2003 Train released "Calling
All Angels" as the lead single for My Private Nation. The
second single released off My Private Nation was "When
I Look To The Sky", which is a song relating to a lost
loved one.
Their song "Ordinary" is featured in
the movie Spider-Man 2. This song also drew a younger audience
with its 'heavier than the norm' Train sound.
In July of 2005, after the song was featured in
an advertising campaign for Cingular, the band released "Get
to Me" as the final single from My Private Nation and it
reached number 9 on the Billboard Adult Top 40. The band never
expected to release a third single from My Private Nation but
the surprise hit of "Get to Me" due to it being used
in a Cingular commercial caused them to release the song.
Train began recording their fourth studio album,
For Me, It's You, in Atlanta, GA during the summer of 2005.
As mentioned on the Chicago radio station WTMX 101.9FM The MIX,
they released the first single "Cab" on November 14th.
The album was released on January 31st, 2006.
For Me, It's You was their fourth studio effort
and the first Train album to feature the new lineup that includes
new members Johnny Colt on bass and Brandon Bush on keyboards.
It was produced by Brendan O' Brien.
Train Miscellaneous
Train is featured in the 2004 Spider-Man 2 movie soundtrack
with their song "Ordinary." The music video was in
rotation on MTV.
Train wrote and recorded a song called "Fall Out"
at Abbey Road Studios for the soundtrack of the movie We Were
Soldiers (2002).
In 2002, Train was chosen to do a cover of Aerosmith's classic
rock staple "Dream On" on an episode of MTV Icon which
was dedicated entirely to Aerosmith. Train performed the song
with Aerosmith themselves watching in the audience.
It is rumored that producer Brendan O' Brien only agreed to
produce the bands second album Drops Of Jupiter after hearing
Train's cover of "Ramble On". Train is no stranger
to doing Led Zeppelin song covers, as lead singer Patrick Monahan
was once in a band that only did Led Zeppelin covers. This year,
we've got awesome Train Washington Tickets
