Press Release

Those honky tonkin, dog house slappin', guitar twangin', rockabilly playboys….

Lonesome Train

…were formed in 2002 and play a fantastic mix of barrel house boogie, honky tonk,  jumpin' swing beat and good old rock'n'roll that has audiences dancin', yellin' and hollerin' for more.

Lonesome Train has been rebooked into every pub, club, venue and event they have visited which is testament to their infectious sound and energy – you can't help but have a good time when the Train pulls into your place.

Several visits to Queensland, Tamworth, Newcastle and Wollongong on the festival circuit, playing to tens of thousands as the house band for the Royal Easter Show, live radio shows on 2BLUFM & 2RRR, Homebush Superdome for the Hot Rod Expos, partying with the ski set at Perisher & Jindabyne and getting French in New Caledonia are some of the highlights for the Train which has steamed into over 150 venues over the past year.

Two c.d.'s are available. Their debut, self titled EP has sold several thousand copies and enjoys regular rotation on radio programs all over the country as well as being spun by several live D.J.'s. The Trains second c.d., 'Live and Rockin' is already in it's fourth pressing and continues to sell well. 

Lonesome Train work as a three piece consisting of guitar slinger extraordinar Christian Power, Dougie Dekroo on the upright slap bass, and bangin' the skins, stand-up style is Rod Laurie. All three provide main and harmony vocals and terrible gags.
