About Me


My name is CJ West I used to write music, play keyboards and play bass in several bands in the late 80's early 90's including 'Too Far Gone' and 'Little Boy Sick' who then became 'Infomania' when we had a change of front man. Had a real blast, lived the lifestyle even died the lifestyle (that's another story). I've put some of our old songs up here to get some idea what we did, keep looking back as I'll be changing the songs and putting my new stuff up as I write it.
"What is money without friends, merely sadness in wealth" - Tyla
Then around about 94 I had band trouble and relationship troubles and ended turning my back on rock music and my old friends. I started 'falling' into jobs until working my way up to being financially secure but at the detriment of friends. "Was it all worth it?" well although I've got a great wife now and everything money can buy I miss the rock scene, it's been way too long but now.... I'm back!
Update! After six and half years I've just quit my job for the sake of my sanity and although a little skint I'm the happiest I've been for ages, my hair is long again, my image is coming back and I'm back in the rock scene again, yay!
There's far more to life than just money!

"So dark a mind within me dwells,
And I make myself such evil cheer,
That if I be dear to some one else,
Then some one else may have much to fear;"

Check out this music player below, I've added a couple of songs from my first recording band that I started up with Mark Thomas called 'Too Far Gone'. Again the recorded quality isn't great but it gives you some idea what we sounded like. I've also added some tracks by Razorboy who were my good friend Lee Wharton's old band, Lee's probably the best guitar player I've personnally ever known, hope you enjoy...
