Artist description The Aloha Steamtrain is Lord Russ, Brian Todd, 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, donıt 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. Finally, Brian looks and sounds like a secretary typing 135 words a minute. Some say itıs the sideburns.
