West of Arizona has been playing original music and a smattering of our favorite cover tunes for about five years now. We mainly play in Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley, and we have recorded and independently released two CDs (1997's "Area To Vary" and "Virtual Vinyl", released August 2000).Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live in Southern Oregon. We currently mainly play bar gigs, because there really aren't a whole lot of other places to play live around Southern Oregon. We have fun playing live, but would like to actually play on the concert stage rather than in a night club now and again. One of our best shows was playing at KROG's RogueFest 1999. There were people lined up along the river for about half a mile to listen to the six bands that were there. All total, I think there were something like 1100 people there. It's cool seeing that many people out there all enjoying the music.
Your musical influences
Personally, I've been influenced by Rush, Kansas, Yes, J.S. Bach, and Led Zeppelin. The other members of the band cite the Beatles, the Moody Blues, early Elton John, REM, Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, Robert Johnson, and a variety of others.What equipment do you use?
Me: Kramer and Lady Luck basses, a Randall amp
Jonathan: Guild and Ovation guitars, Digitech 2101 signal processor
Dave: Sonor Drums
Chris: Gibson Bluesbird and Fender Stratocaster, Fender Twin Reverb amp
Plus there's a lot of odd foot pedals and whatnot, Mackie mixer, Peavey and Alesis amps, an Alesis gate/compressor, Digitech DSP-256 Signal Processor, etc.Anything else?
We hope you enjoy the music.
