Background:

West of 5 has been rockin' the San Diego club scene since 2002. The band's sound has evolved over time to an eclectic mixture of classic to current rock.

At a West of 5 performance, you'll hear familiar top 40 favorites that move you to the dance floor. But West of 5 really gets great pleasure at digging up the "hidden treasures" not often heard on the radio, but are favorites on people's iPods. In any given set, West of 5 will bounce through the decades from the '70s to '00s. They have an extensive song list, which can vary based on the venue.
