A Shot of RocknRoll..Chase It with Some Country

About Me

I created my layout at KillerKiwi.net NeonWest's music has a swagger, and a style based in the resonant roots of rock and country. It's a major chord with a twang, rounded out by smoky vocals and a tight bottom end. Grab a bucket of beers and gather the friends, ‘cause when the band hits the stage they aim to give you everything they’ve got. With a new EP out titled simply, “NeonWest,” the band is poised and eager to play every club, saloon and stage they can find, to promote it; they live for that spark—that connection with the crowd. With an earnest, energetic style mixed up with heartfelt lyrics on tracks like, “Chase It” (with some country) and “Famous,” audiences will be coming back again and again.Since late 2006, NeonWest has been burning up local LA stages as well as promoting their new EP. The band has been connecting with audiences and making new fans. With a passion for songwriting, Rick, Lee and Joel are constantly creating, and with an ever-growing and diverse songbook, they are now actively writing for other artists in addition to NeonWest. Music is a road worth traveling and they’ve been putting the pedal to the floor since hitting LA. If there’s a thump in your chest and your boot can’t stop tappin’ then you know it’s NeonWest.
