New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Los Angeles psychedelic rock band Westerner are a ballsy cocktail mix of psychedelic rock, disco, and trip hop. Drawing influence from Pink Floyd,
Massive Attack and late-90s electronica, the collective make their return with 'The Dawn of the World' May 20th.
Known for their electric live performances, the ensemble began drawing in large crowds, performing at iconic venues such as; Beverly Hilton, Good Times at Davey Wayne's, The Bootleg Theater, Whisky a Go-Go etc. The band deliver catchy pop songs, driven by electronic synths, combined with psychedelic soundscapes to create exciting shows that are unlike anything you've seen or heard before.
Music Connection Magazine included Westerner in their Hot 100 Live Acts list three years in a row describing them as "One of the best bands in Los Angeles."
Driven by lead vocalist
Cooper Bombadil, Westerner would be incomplete without Mike Gattshall (drums),
Brandon Valerino (bass & vocals) and Javier Olmedo (guitar).
Cooper started Westerner after he wrote and recorded their debut album 'Unreal City', a sci-fi rock opera composed of surreal sounds, and strange characters. He then formed a band to play the music live. After learning the material, the band collaborated on new songs. Over the years, Westerner has developed an explosive live show and a devoted 'cult like' following.
Speaking more on the track, Westerner explained: "In a time of deepening divisions and heightened conflict, The Dawn of the World reminds us of our shared humanity. The lyrics do this by combining opposites together. Religion and science. Groups and individuals. The past and the future.
Darkness and light.
Opposites may define us, but our journey reveals our shared humanity."
'The Dawn of the World' is manufactured to perfection. Put together with the help of Vlado Meller (Michael Jackson,
Celine Dion,
Duran Duran etc.), each element crafted to keep people dancing, the single is set to release May 20th.
