Pico Train is Matt Rimer, Shane Hayes, Keith Allen and Dusty Hunt, featuring Sonny Mayo from SNOT, Amen & HedPE.

As purveyors of the west coast rock and roll lifestyle, Pico Train measures success by the friends they’ve made, not by the size of their van or thickness of their wallets. Having sold over 10,000 CDs and given away well over 3,000 pieces of Pico Train merchandise, it’s no wonder their fans and friends continue to multiply. “It’s interesting how things come together in this business” says guitarist Dusty Hunt. “We run in to people at our shows that haven’t seen us in years who tell us they found out about the show from asking somebody where they got the Pico Train shirt they were wearing”.

The fans aren’t the only ones noticing Pico Train’s activity. Los Angeles ABC Television affiliate aired an entire “Eye on L.A.” segment on the band and their contribution to the local music scene. Bassist Shane Hayes adds, “For a band like us just starting to make a big splash in a huge commercial market, the ‘Eye on LA’ experience has really reaffirmed our love for the city that’s helped define who we are. It feels and looks like overnight success, but we know it isn’t. Our goal now is to become part of the city’s lore and to define generations to follow.”
