Golden West Motorlodge
"Demo Tape"

Released in 2002

This was a band from Boston that I discovered early on with my online radio station. They put out a bunch of albums from 2002 to around 2015. The song "My Bar" was played a lot on the station... I mean, like every day. But the entire record is pretty cool. It reminds me of being at The Saint on a Tuesday night when traveling bands would come through town. Every now and then one of the bands you had never heard of would simply blow you away.

Here are two more tracks to check out
