"ALL HAIL RAIL"

RAIL appearing LIVE at the

September 22, 2006
Doors open at 8pm

Admission: $7 per person

RAIL was born in the mid 70's, a real "Hook-em and Fry-em" hard rock
band. They played high school and college dances to SRO crowds. The
teen fan base of Rail created three sold out shows at the Paramount
Theatre in Seattle in 1976 and 1977. Often times concert promoters
Concerts West and John Bauer presents would add RAIL to a show lagging
in sales to get the show sold out. Some of those shows that RAIL was
added to included Blue Oyster Cult, Nazareth, and Heart. RAIL
continued to play high school proms, homecomings, senior parties
(sometimes 3 in one day) and teen dance halls like the fabled Lake
Hills Roller Rink in Bellevue where they broke all attendance records
set by the Beach Boys in the early 60's. The record RAIL set at Lake
Hills was a crowd of 2,129 when posted capacity was 650! RAIL's
youthful energy and huge draw landed them an unheard of deal:
performing as opening act for Van Halen on their 1980 National tour,
36 cities, and they did not have a major label deal.

Over the year's RAIL has worked with Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Blue
Oyster Cult, Ted Nugent, Nightranger, Heart, Cheap Trick.
One of the early promotions that MTV ran was a basement tapes contest
where unsigned bands were invited to send in video tapes, then through
a series of elimination's, the national public was invited to call in
& vote for their favorite video. The winner of the basement tapes
received a $100,000 recording contract with EMI Records. RAIL won
hands down!

RAIL will perform cover favorites from Ted Nugent, Styx, Lynyrd
Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Rush, Queen, AC/DC and their own songs including
MTV Basement Tape winner HELLO, TV Show theme song ROCKIN YOU,
GANGBUSTERS, BANDIT, HARD GIRL TO LOVE, DIAMOND DASHER and 1-2-3-4
ROCK AND ROLL!

RAIL is Terry Young-bass and lead vocals, Kelly Nobles-drums, Andy
Baldwin-guitar and vocals, Rick Knotts-guitar and vocals.
