Aloha Steamtrain

Who Are They?

The Aloha Steamtrain is Lord Russ, Brian Todd, Joe Boyle, and Henning Ohlenbusch. What we have here
are great original songs played by excellent original performers. Lord Russ is the magic voice and author
behind the psychedelic pop hits that simultaneously introduce us to a brand new sound and evoke old lovable
feelings. With songs that are at the same time Happy and Angry, Beautiful and Lecherous, Abstract and
Dead-On, The Aloha Steamtrain is going to change the face of music today, don’t you doubt it.

On stage or coming through your speakers, The Steamtrain grabs you, blows you up, and sets you afloat.

Lord Russ writes like Ray Davies, sings like Tom Jones,
moves like Iggy Pop, and thinks like Syd Barrett.

Henning is a tall, skinny, technical lizard. His bass is his
friend and the mellotron is his altar.
Joe Boyle plays the guitar like the lion tamer he is, a
master of all things musical.

Finally, Brian looks and sounds like a secretary typing
135 words a minute. Some say it’s the sideburns.
