West LA is a work in proccess. We are a developing progressive rock band that has a few more components to go (lost our former drummer to an all Argentine metal type and we still still need lead vocals.) Members include: 6 string Guitar: Xi Chen Bass and 6 string Guitar: Wayne Arballo
Band/artist history

Xi Chen is now the guitarist for Perfect Disorder, but still plays with us and is a good friend.
