Train
Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1994. The band currently comprises a core trio of Patrick Monahan (vocals), Jimmy Stafford (guitar, vocals) and Scott Underwood (drums, percussion).
Train, with a line-up that included original members Rob Hotchkiss and Charlie Colin, as well as Monahan, Stafford and Underwood, achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit "Meet Virginia". Their second album, Drops of Jupiter (2001), brought the band massive popularity. The lead single from the album, "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)", was an international hit and won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band's best-selling album to date.
Their third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, continued the band's success, and was certified platinum in the United States with the hit "Calling All Angels". Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It's You in 2006, with Johnny Colt on bass and Brandon Bush on keys. Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Train then went on a three-year hiatus.
Returning in late 2009 with their returning-to-roots record Save Me, San Francisco, Train has more than regained their former success with three of their singles off the album — the RIAA 5x Multi-Platinum certified international hit "Hey, Soul Sister", "If It's Love" and "Marry Me" — reaching and long holding high positions on the Billboard Hot 100, #3, #34, and #34 respectively. The album itself has been certified Gold by both the RIAA and ARIA and is currently closing in on Platinum status. Since May 2009, Hector Maldonado (bass, guitar, vocals, percussion) and Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar) have been touring and recording with the group around the world.

Disco Curtis is an American pop rock band from Colleyville , Texas .
Disco Curtis formed during childhood, where a young Tanner Howe and AJ Novak first bonded over respectively playing piano and drums. As the two friends grew older, various band incarnations came and went, but upon bringing Garrett Perales (and later on Brendan Barone) into the band, the initial shape of Disco Curtis formed. They started to record demo tapes, produced by Geoff Rockwell, who has produced several Forever The Sickest Kids albums.
The band was named after a fellow disco legend and drummer named Curtis. The friend of the band, who also resides in the band's native Texas, used to perform with various disco artists throughout the 1970s, wearing a paper bag over his head. Decades later, he has become a mentor and a friend to Disco Curtis.
"We have known him for years," Howe explains. "When it came down to naming our band, Disco Curtis came to our head because we spent a lot of time with him last summer. He has been a big influence on us."
On September 10, 2010, AJ Novak, Garrett Perales, and Brendan Barone left Disco Curtis, leaving Tanner Howe as the only remaining member.

Prime Ministers are an Ecuadorian rock band. Emerged as a band in 2007. It consists of Ernesto Estrada (guitar, vocals), Jorge Luis "Pala" Varela (guitar), Pedro Argüello (bass) and Jaime "Chimo" Solórzano (drums).
Their debut album Take A Ride is a compendium of 12 songs that unearths the 60s' rock sound and brings it back to life with an interesting sequence worth listening to closely. The album's tracks follow an order that takes the listener down a path from darkness to light. Take a Ride starts with "Dead Man Walking", a song that deals with depression. It's the starting point for a rhythmic, spiritual evolution that fast-forwards towards liberation in the 11th track, "Let Love Rule". Each song has its raison d'etre and guides the audience towards the certainty that the only way to happiness is to let love rule their lives. The work was produced in English, a language in which the band feels comfortable composing and singing, the language they actually call "their rock n roll mother tongue".
