Alt-rock band Soul Asylum is playing Paper Tiger this Wednesday.
The band is best known for its 1993 smash hit"Runaway Train," which became ubiquitous during the '90s grunge explosion.
Formed in Minneapolis in 1981, the band was originally called Loud Fast Rules before renaming itself Soul Asylum in 1983. For a decade, national success remained elusive for the group despite a relentless touring schedule. In 1990, the members even considered disbanding., which went triple platinum. In 1993, its hit song"Runaway Train" garnered a Grammy for Best Rock Song. The band was even invited to play President Bill Clinton's inauguration.
Local indie rockers The Cinderleaf will open the night with a sound that blends influences ranging from Elvis Costello to Fugazi.
