Adam West are a Washington D.C based hard rock band that blends 60's psychedelic rock with a thick stoner groove to make a high octane, hard rocking take on guitar driven rock and roll.

"Adam West burn diesel like Zeke, have signed the same deal with the devil as Lemmy, love the ladies like the Didjits, and buy their weed from Fu Manchu's dealer." --Tom Schulte, All Music Guide, February 2002.

[edit] History

Adam West Live

Adam West was formed in the early 1990s when Jake Starr decided to form a 60s garage band. In 1993 they released their first single "I get a Sensation" on Fandango Records. Combining the outstanding reception to this with their blistering live shows around the D.C area they soon started gathering a cult following that continues to this day. They are known as one of the hardest working bands around, as their discography and harsh touring schedule speaks for its-self. Thirty-five 7-inch singles, one 10-inch EP, ten CDs, five full length studio albums, three out-takes/B-sides albums and a shocking forty appearances on compilation albums. Its amazing they found the time to tour Europe seven times, on the way rocking with bands like: Hellacopters, Gaza Strippers, BellRays, Zen Guerilla, Electric Frankenstein, Candy Snatchers, B-Movie Rats, American Heartbreak, Groovie Ghoulies, Immortal Lee County Killers, Iron Boss, D-Generation, Mud City Manglers, Silver Tongued Devil, Muffs, to name a handful.
