1) The women of NighTraiN were brought together as a concept band for an original stage play production called βHot Grits.β In a process that was projected to take nine months, the women were to learn their assigned instruments, write songs and begin performing in the Seattle underground music scene in preparation for the play. The Band and their music were very well received. Although, very diverse in experience, age and backgrounds, the original women developed a profound friendship and connection in the music and decided to reunite after the stage play ended to form NighTraiN (NtN).
On the heels of the release of their first full length CD, DERAILED, NighTraiN has been noted as one of the hottest musical acts to come out of the Seattle underground (Three Imaginary Girls, The Stranger, The Seattle Weekly,), creating a new sound they deem Locomotive Punk. NighTraiN is comprised of Selena "No Pick" Paquiet, Nicole "Christ Child" Peoples, Taryn "Hot Legs" Dorsey and Rachael F. They have been compared to proto-punk acts such as the Dictators and early Cheap Trick, but with a riot girrrl touch.
NtN has toured prominent clubs in major cities up and down the West Coast and the Pacific Northwest, including Seattle, WA; Boise, ID; Portland, OR; Los Angeles, CA and Las Vegas, NV to name a few. They recently opened for legendary heavyweights, Fishbone, and have shared the bill with amazing, nationally known acts such as Brent Amaker and the Rodeo, Witchburn, Head Like a Kite, Dyme Def, and Seattle bands like The Redwood Plan, The Young Evils, and Tacocat. NtN has participated in Ladyfest Bellingham 2009/2010; Noise for the Needy 2010; Northwest Folklife Festivals 2011 and 2012, and the Georgetown Music Festival 2010 and 2012. NtN produces a music festival in Seattle called βHoodstock,β which celebrated its 5th anniversary in 2012.

Bring It Back
Nightrain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sit down and obey the rules
Can't concentrate, I just want to go back
Back to that bitch in my bed
My head's still aching from some turkey last night
Now that's a lie I'm just a shiny guy
I'm a little troublemaker (but the rebellions gone)
I'm just confusin' by bluesin' to raise a fuss
I'm a little heartbreaker, soulshaker (but noone wants to hear your song)
Though I don't like this system I'm just fine, but
would you be so kind to give me back my wasted time
Though Rock'n'Roll is dead yeah I know what I'll do
I'm going out to bring It back to you
But there remains the question, how could this be
My giant was beaten by some ecstasy
Well I'm competing in cheating the leading class
I'm a little troublemaker (but the rebellions gone)
I'm just confusin' by bluesin' to raise a fuss
I'm a little heartbreaker, soulshaker (but noone wants to hear your song)
First I was a little bit confused didn't know what to do
But still I'm a troublemaker, rocker real heartbreaker
Livin' on the edge I'm like a wedge to your society
I won't believe one word you are nothing but a jerk
searching for a rest from your imaginery quest
Well I'm competing in cheating the leading class
I'm a little troublemaker (but the rebellions gone)
I'm just confusin' by bluesin' to raise a fuss
I'm a little heartbreaker, soulshaker (but noone wants to hear your song)
Bring it back.....Well it's been a long time
Bring it back.....Still searching for a living sign
Bring it back, bring it back...........yeah.....
The song "Bring it Back," by Nightrain, is a rebellious and energetic song that portrays the frustration and restlessness of the singer in a structured society. The song opens with the singer expressing his displeasure for school and rules, and how he wishes to go back to the comfort of his bed with his girlfriend, representing the rebellious and carefree nature of youth. The singer then confesses his struggles with cheating but also wanting to stand out and raise a fuss, highlighting his conflicting nature.
The pre-chorus, "Though I don't like this system I'm just fine, but would you be so kind to give me back my wasted time," speaks about the singer coming to terms with the structured society. He may not necessarily like it, but he is managing to cope well. However, he still yearns for the freedom he has lost and wants it back, indicating that he is not entirely at peace in the structure. The chorus, "Bring it back," repeatedly speaks of reconnecting with something lost, most likely referring to the freedom associated with youth and rock and roll.
