Powertrane comes straight out of a long tradition of edgy, Detroit rock n’ roll. Madeup of Detroit rock legends along side driving, young talent, Powertrane embodies the best of the gritty Motor City sound.

The legendary rocker Scott Morgan formed the band in 2001. Morgan’s original claim to fame was the 60’s band The Rationals. In the next decade, he went on to rock with Fred “Sonic” Smith (MC5) in the Sonic’s Rendezvous Band. The 80’s found Morgan as a bandmate of Scott Asheton (the Stooges) in Scots Pirates and finally, he joined The Hydromatics. Guitarist Robert Gillespie is another veteran of the Detroit rock scene. He was a part of the Rob Tyner Band and formed The Torpedos with Johnny Angelos. In the 80’s, he joined up with Mitch Ryder’s Detroit Wheels and has continued to work with Ryder up to the present. He also formed the Motor City Rockers - which included Jimmy Marinos of the Romantics. In Powertrane, Morgan and Gillespie are joined by bassist Chris Taylor (The Avatars, Mazinga) and drummer Andy Frost (Hydromatics, High Rollers).

Powertrane recorded their first album, Ann Arbor Revival Meeting, in 2003 for the Philadelphia-based Real O Minds Records. The album, recorded live at Ann Arbor’s Blind Pig, features guest performances by Ron Asheton (the
Stooges), Hiawatha Bailey (Cult Heroes) and Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman).  --Ryan Sult
