Train Announce Bulletproof Picasso Tour Dates (Recap)
. Train wanted to try and keep things fresh this time around, which is no easy feat for a band that's been doing this for 20 years. "The last few tours we've always done something different, whether it was dance routines, bringing a cellist out, having costume changes, videos and lighting," frontman Pat Monahan told Radio.com. "There's a lot to say about simplicity, but we're still trying to figure out some things we haven't done yet. And we're also trying to figure out how to incorporate The Fray and Matt Nathanson--creating a community on stage is always a big part of what Train fans love about our summer tours." To keep things exciting this year, the guys will end their two-month long Picasso At The Wheel Summer Tour at The Gorge in Washington for the band's first ever Picasso Music, Food and Wine Festival. Fans who get to the show's early will also be able to partake in the Patcast Tailgate tent located in each venue's parking lot. There they'll be treated to a classic rock DJ, be able to give shout-outs to friends on frontman Monahan's weekly podcast, the Patcast and sign-up for the Mermaid Costume contest for a chance to be brought up on stage. A fan might even get to meet Monahan himself. "I'll go out there and we will record segments for the show with fans and maybe do a few fan podcasts," he said. "It just sounds like a lot of fun to me to get a chance to interact with the fans and have some fun episodes." But, don't expect the guys to show up to the venue in a cadillac in honor of their song "Cadillac, Cadillac." "You know, I think that would be fun on some level if it was just desert shows like in southern California, but nothing beats a big, beautiful, comfortable tour bus," Monahan said. "Maybe they make Cadillac tour buses. Or if they don't, they should start." Read more including the tour dates - here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
