El West has inspired FanView in so many ways. They prove time and time again that music is their forte, and something they master through passion and knowledge. The four guys that make up the band are extremely easy to talk to and get to know about making FanViews job so easy and fun! We are still in the makes of editing the interview from their show at the Valley Bar in Phoenix. They absolutely rocked the stage and gathered the lucky audience for a time of their lives. Ricky even hopped off the stage to join in on a little crowd fun while still strummin' the bass like the rockstar he is, takes a lot of talent to keep the fans on their toes and simultaneously keep the music funky fresh. Such ethereal and breathtaking vocals from the lead singer, guitarist, (and as he states, conductor of the machine) Bryant. He connected with fans on another level by just being himself and cracking some jokes, he reminds FanView of the legendary Future Islands lead, Sam Herring. A true wizard when it comes to playing the guitar, Thomas was such a light to see on and off the stage. We would like to compare him to the last airbender perfecting his craft, like he was definitely born for it. Last but certainly not least, Marty is the backbone of the El West aircraft, he slays the drums as if he was delivered to this earth with a drumstick in hand, we couldn't stop trying to look around heads to grab a peek at the sight of a true rhythmic genius at work. The show was soul-lifting and 'Olivine' is definitely a song any music fan should see live. We could rant on and on about El West but instead we want you to enjoy what they are all about including some FanView concert videos, pictures, and a link to some of their top-charted songs.
Let us know if you enjoy these guys as much as FanView does, I mean we certainly wouldn't be posting this if we didn't think you all wouldn't LOVE them but we also really want to know your thoughts about the awesomeness El West has to offer.
