Vidiots CD Cover
VIDIOTS - Tune In!!

"You don't like to work.
You don't like to sweat.
You puff all day on funny cigarettes.
In your room all alone.
You watch TV and unplug the phone.
People sort of think that you're no damn good.
You got no friends in the neighborhood.
You don't go out. Your eyes turn red
From sitting to close to the TV set."
—from "Better Get Started" by VIDIOTS

The Pigs CD Cover
THE PIGS - Oink!

The Pigs - Oink!! was Geoff’s first Power Pop CD. It was one of Hybrid Magazine’s “2006 Up and Coming Favorites” and Indie-Music.com’s “Top 25 Indie CDs of 2007.” Read all the reviews at www.disturbingmusic.com.

Birth CD Cover
DIGITAL ACTIVITY - Birth

Before Geoff's Wall of Pop sounds on The Pigs and Vidiots, he released two Digital Activity CDs: Birth and Xmas Vol. 1. Digital Activity performs Rock Ambient Music. RAM has more edge, more punch, more guitars, extreme dynamics, and more complicated orchestration than traditional 'ambient.' Add one more ingredient, a backbeat, and yeah, you CAN crank it up for an aural assault or a quick dance break. Check out Rock Ambient at www.disturbingmusic.com.

Xmas Vol. 1 CD Cover
DIGITAL ACTIVITY - Xmas Vol. 1

These nine extended Xmas soundscapes start down their traditional musical road before veering off into inventive rhythmic and melodic excursions—from the classic and familiar to the edgy and outrageous! XMAS VOL. 1 is the perfect backdrop for Xmas every year. Click HERE.

   About Geoff Westen
VIDIOTS—Tune In!! is Geoff Westen's Power Punk tunes-de-force and the follow-up to his acclaimed The Pigs—OINK! on Disturbing Music. The Pigs was one of Hybrid Magazine's “2006 Up and Coming Favorites” and Indie-Music.com's “Top 25 Indie CDs of 2007.” Reviewers and fans alike, respond to Westen’s neo-retro sound, citing influences from the '80s to the present.

But Westen is unpredictable. He’s been doing this too long to put out the same album every time. On VIDIOTS—Tune In!! he moves in a slightly more Power Punk direction while continuing to incorporate the scope of pop and rock styles he has performed over his career into his signature Wall of Pop sound.

Westen delivers screaming guitars and a driving track that rocks his opening anthem for Vidiots everywhere, "Better Get Started." He kicks it up a notch on the thumping tracks "Angry Young Man" and "Don't Stop The Kiss.” Funky-chunky guitars spice up "Action Man," while a slight touch of techno pulsates through “Some of You Girls.” And no one does a ballad better or tells a more tender love story than the softer side of Westen on "She's So Young" and "Searching For Love."

Geoff has a long history in music and design, working on scores of projects with hundreds of musicians and talented artists in all fields. He apprenticed his musical craft with pop music masters in the studio, on television and on the road. His apprenticeship took on many forms - owning a recording studio where he worked with artists as diverse as David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Dr. John; on the road with his own bands and top commercial pop artists; and as a hired gun on a number of network television shows.

Westen's style is a life-long amalgam of pop influences. He laughs at the comparisons heaped on his music. "I understand why people want to compare you to some other artist or band as a point of reference, but it really gets ridiculous. If I showed you the list of 'whom Geoff sounds like,' you would be amazed. It's a diverse group ranging from Oingo Boingo to The Killers to Chromeo. Wow! But, I'm not griping about it. It's great that everyone hears something different. It means if you're into rock 'n roll, you should be able to find something you like about my music - and that's what I'm striving for."

Rock veteran Westen has spent a whole lot of years involved in the production and performance of music. You can hear this wealth of experience; you can hear the maturity in his Wall of Pop arrangements and production style. It's what sets him apart.

Some people act like "pop" is a bad word... You and MIDWAY are alike in that we are not afraid to make pop music.
Keep up the great work! THANK YOU for making friends with MIDWAY!
