Westside

If you’re out looking for a jumpin' party, a crazy eye-popping dance show, and a fresh sound.... then the “Westside party” is where it’s at! We have worked 25 years to bring you the music and the moves! We are definitely not like any other band, you’ll just have to come and see for yourself. Because of our distinctive sound, we have opened for exceptional bands like: Kool & the Gang, Steely Dan, Flock of Seagulls, Morris Day & the Time, Survivor, Foghat, and Gladys Night & the Pips, Greg Rolie (Original singer for Santana & founder of Journey)...Just to name a few.Dance like you've never danced before to our own groovy twist we put on hit songs by artists ranging from Aerosmith, The Commodores, Nelly, Kid Rock, Justin Timberlake and many others. If you like any or all of these styles of music, then you will love the Westside Band’s outstanding originals like "Promise Me" and "Somethin' Somethin'". We were also on Star Search in the 80's performing one of our hit original songs, "The Sweep." CDs are currently available from 3 albums: The History, Back on the Block, and Still Standing. The MySpace Store will be up and running soon. So keep an eye out for it...Speaking of “The History”, we’d like to announce that our drummer and founder of the Westside Band, Junior Trejo, is now a four-time inductee to the Minnesota Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame for the bands Danny's Reasons, Gypsy, Mystics, and Free and Easy. Congratulations Junior! We are also a 2004 City Pages award winner for Best Established Band.The Westside Band is certainly not something you want to miss!“There ain’t no party like a Westside party, cuz a Westside party don’t stop!” Check us out on our other webside at www.minneapolismusic.com/bands/Westside_Band
