Neon West

I headed to a bar in Culver City that I must have passed hundreds of times, but never noticed, to check out the country band NeonWest. It was a small little venue, complete with regulars that all knew the bartenders’ names. I met up with lead singer (and fellow east coast native) Lee Lucas and chatted for a bit before the 6 piece band took the stage. Camera in hand, I shot the band, while they played on the small stage in the quaint bar. Lee sang about knowing how she was living in the wrong town, a song all of us transplants seemed to understand. They played a slower song, I think my favorite, called “Make it rain”. And no, it is not about throwing up ones at a strip club, but how you can’t change a person-just like you can’t make it rain. I absolutely loved this song, and it brought a nice slower moment to the night. And just as quickly as that song ended, they brought it all around again with a very rock inspired song. They even played there mp3.com award winning song, “Highway”. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stick around too long afterwards, but I will definitely be checking out their next show!

Lady 3 is an east coast native that moved to L.A. in 2003 to pursue a music marketing career. She was never really into the east coast scene, but fell absolutely in love wiith the west coast scene! She spent most of her time in LA street teaming for her numerous musician friends until she got her chance to start booking shows on her own. She has booked metal to pop and everything in between at well known and not so well known venues. If she could she would live, breathe, and sleep the Sunset Strip! Fav venue : whiskyagogo. Fav local Band: Warner Drive. Fav music: hard rock, metal, hard core, nu metal, alternative. what makes a great band? Relatable lyrics, great images in marketing material, amazingly energetic live show.
