33 West will rock you. They make their own blend of rock, punk and reggae producing undeniably catchy melodies, intelligent, yet fun lyrics, and a non-stop, in-your-face live performance that will leave your heart pumping and your loins a-fire. The band has been working hard since 1995, but it wasn’t until 2000 that they completed their line-up and became what they are today. Andrew, Ken, Nick, Dave and Jacob first started playing together in high school in the Washington, DC area. They were quick to make a name for themselves, releasing a full-length album, which was listed as one of the areas finest by The Washington Post, and a three-song demo. Joe was introduced to the band while they were all at college and the line-up was finally set. In 2001 they released "No Cash No Problems" which has sold over 2,000 copies already and was called "a fresh sounding disc that shows a promising future" by The Music Korner. While winning numerous awards and honors including the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands 6 and the Washington, DC Hard Rock Café Battle of the Bands, the band set out to record with producer Jim Ebert in April of 2002. They came out with four brand new songs that show their talent and versatility more than ever before. Now 33 West is on a rampage touring all over the United States with two tours in the summer of 2002 alone. 33 West can be seen and heard playing venues of all sizes including DC’s Nissan Pavilion and 9:30 Club, NYC’s Lion’s Den, Hollywood’s Coconut Teaser, Winston-Salem’s Ziggy’s and many more. They have shared the stage with the likes of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Bad Religion, NOFX, Reel Big Fish, Good Charlotte, New Found Glory and more.
