We Are The West. An experience not to be missed. by Patrick O’Heffernan

April 16, 2015

We are the West braved a very late start Friday night at the Hotel Café to deliver a stellar set of songs from their new Regards EP and their album We are the West I.  Many people don’t know what to make of We Are the West because they truly defy categorization to bring a level of creativity to music that is unique and completely their own.
