Band Members: The creative foundation of The 8th Street Band is the instrumental alliance of Sid Damage (guitars, vocals) and Lionel Last (bass, vocals). Most formerly of the group, Love Puddle, Damage and Last have played music together for over ten years and have been friends since they were kids. They've played together with various groups at venues ranging from The Whiskey (Los Angeles) to the Coffee Depot (Riverside).The lynchpin between Chosen F.E.W. and the 8th street band is the diversity of "A" Streets (drums, percussion, synthesizers). A native of New York, he got his start as the choreographer for P-Entertainment back in 1990, and eventually graduated to independent production of original Hip Hop tracks. When he moved to Cali, he enlisted the lyrical talents of Karaz (lyricist) and Daxa aka X (lyricist) to create Chosen F.E.W. (From East to West) in 2002. They've performed at a wide range of places all over Southern California.
