Matchbox Twenty Catch Train For Supporting Slot
Train currently headlining their own tour behind Drops of Jupiter.
Having just finished up a round of arena shows with Everclear and Lifehouse,
Matchbox Twenty are scaling back with a planned tour of smaller-scale, outdoor
arenas with Train on board to open.
The details of the tour are now being worked out, according to a spokesperson
for Matchbox Twenty's label. While no firm dates have been nailed down, the
tour will commence July 31, Train's label said.
In the meantime, Train have a tour of their own underway, which they kicked
off in Seattle on April 14. The band said they're excited to be able to bring
Drops of Jupiter to their fans around the country.
"People can expect to hear this new record," said Pat Monahan, the band's lead
singer and primary songwriter. "More so, probably, than the first one."
Drops of Jupiter, which debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and
currently sits at #18, is the second release from San Francisco band Train.
"So far people are reacting really positively to the stuff that we have,"
drummer Scott Underwood said. "It's actually ended up being a lot of fun for
us."
The band is charging full-steam ahead on the charts, with their radio hit
"Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)." The single is at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100,
up from last week's #47 spot.
The album almost went to market without its prized hit single — a "Drops of
Jupiter"-free record was all ready to go when inspiration for the title track
struck.
"I woke up one day after about three minutes of sleep and I said 'Ah! I have
this lyric in my head and I know better than to go to bed now.' So I stayed
up late." Monahan said. "And lyrically, I think 'Drops of Jupiter' was just
so unusual that it took over the name [of the album] and the buzz that was
behind it."
When asked whether attendees of their current slate of shows can expect to
hear an acoustic version of the song, the band said maybe, maybe not.
"It depends on how much cash we're offered. We're all about the cash, really,"
Monahan joked.
"Yeah, throw some big bucks our way and we'll do whatever you want," Underwood
chimed in.
All joking aside, the band said finding an acoustic version of the song on
their Web site someday isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility.
"We'll definitely put it on the Web site at some point," Monahan said.
In addition to their dates with Matchbox Twenty and their own headlining
shows, Train are making the requisite television stops, including one on June
4 at "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
