Train Biography |

|
A no-nonsense mainstream rock outfit from San Francisco, Train have approached success in the music industry like the little engine that could, slowly climbing the mountain that at first seemed unattainable. Following a year and a half of practically nonstop work, their self-titled debut album finally reached the Billboard Top 100, which has no doubt turned the band mantra from "We think we can" to "We know we can."
The start of Train's route can be found in an L.A. band called the Apostles, which broke up in the early '90s. Their lead singer, Rob Hotchkiss, relocated to San Francisco in 1994, and there met up with another aspiring vocalist, Patrick Monahan. The two became friends and soon launched a regular coffeehouse act--two singers, one guitar, kinda like Simon & Garfunkel. After making the Bay Area rounds for a while as a duo, Hotchkiss and Monahan decided they should get out of the folk ghetto and form a real band. For this purpose, they recruited fellow ex-Apostles Jimmy Stafford (guitar) and Charlie Colin (bass). Colin, in turn, recommended that Scott Underwood be hired to man the drums, and when a bassist recommends a drummer, you listen. Thus Train came to be.
Once the initial writing and rehearsing stages had taken place (compositions are credited to all five members), the band began to look for as much live work as possible, starting out in tiny venues and taking it from there.
