   About West Of Texas
Southeast of the neon lights of Los Angeles is where the band West Of Texas meets to write their own brand of Country. This isn’t the watered down pop songs you'll find on the top 40 radio shows, these boys take their influences from the heroes of classic Country. It’s the sound you get when a Central California Native with a penchant for the Texas shuffles and a Native Texan with a love of the Bakersfield sound meet up and start making music together. It’s the sound of a thousand Texas Dancehalls, the sound of the truck drivin’ radio shows and Nashville tunes that came crackling over the AM band 30 years ago, the sound of the Bakersfield twang. This is Hardcore Honky Tonk. A few notes into the bands energetic live show and you’ll be toe tapping, two stepping or swinging along.

This month we mostly have Catie Curtis (with a Richard Thompson cover), Lindsay Fuller and The Cheap Dates (and who amongst us isn't?), Josh Fix with a track from the well-titled album This Town Is Starting To Make Me Angry and the rather lovely Red Rooster.

Happy listening
