© Train, 2006"Now that she's back in the atmosphere...drops of Jupiter in her hair..."Those lines are going to be in my head for days now...I'm definitely not complaining. Today's FAN was Train, the Grammy-winning rock band out of San Francisco. Formed in the late '90s and subsequently placing a good portion of their work on the charts (especially modern adult alternative), the band took a hiatus
After playing drums for a number of NYC bands Jessie Torrisi has stepped out on her own with a wonderful debut album called Bruler Bruler (pronounced broo-lay broo-lay which means burn burn in French). The now based in Austin, Texas (with former roots in Philly) Jessie wields a guitar and a downright rocking set of tunes filled with swagger and sexiness that finds Jessie at a cool crossroads
