West Eats Meat - 2007

Bio

Formed in 2005, West Eats Meat is a blend of Indian music and other Eastern sounds with the Western idioms of rock and free jazz. The genesis of the band lies in the experimental instruments created by luthier Ari Lehtela. Blending elements of the Indian Sarod and Sitar with the guitar, the end result is much more that each alone. Bassist John Shaughnessy and drummer John Spurrier had both the ears and the technical facility to realize Ari's new ideas. After a couple of early gigs, West Eats Meat was born. The group has moved steadily away from composed ideas, and towards collective free improvisation. In 2006 they recorded a 6 song CD "West Eats Meat", which is currently for sale at CD Baby, on their Myspace page, and at gigs. The band plans to book festivals and other shows throughout 2007 in support of their new CD.
