Atomik Train At Théâtre Beanfield

Back in the 1980's, thanks to Ozzy Osbourne, rock music was riding a crazy train.  Now, here the present, Québec rock music is being powered by an Atomik Train.  I read that little into on their website and after seeing the band perform live at the Théâtre Beanfield the other week, you would be hard pressed to find anyone who was in attendance to disagree with that statement.  In the previous update I lamented the fact that it took me 35 years to discover Anonymus, whose photographs you can see by following the link.  I'm a little less behind the clock when it comes to Atomik Train.  Though singer Francois Babin has been around the scene for a good many years, including a stint on the popular television program Star Academie, the band has only been around since 2021.  Listening to them was like taking a ride in the DeLorean to the 1980s when rock was King.  Atomik Train would have fit perfectly back then, and were like a breathe of fresh air to hear.  They were tasked with getting the party started on a big four band bill, and they did more than accomplish the task.  Atomik Train obviously had a more than a few fans already in the building, and judging by the great reaction from those in attendance, they probably made more than a few more.  So far, Atomik Train has only released three singles, but they mentioned that they had been working in the studio with great Canadian rock music producer John Webster, so we can only hope that some new music, and possibly even an album, will be coming at us soon.  The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/160sec, ISO 2500 at 24mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/250sec, ISO 6400 at 24mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took of their performance.

If you'd like to find out more about Atomik Train and their music, you can do so by following the link to their Facebook page.  If you'd like to see the photographs that I took of Anonymous and Sword, who played later that evening, you can do so by following the respective links.  Atomik Train were a much needed blast of life on a rather cold a snowy Saturday night.  I can't wait to hear their album when it gets released and hopefully out paths will cross again.  Check them out if you're looking for an unforgettable evening of rock and roll.
