West of Aldine

Hailing from the Twin Cities, West of Aldine began in the summer of 2008 as a small acoustic group consisting of Christian Hulting (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Brian Moen (lead guitar), and Nathanael Raway (piano/background vocals). After performing a handful of live shows, the acoustic trio realized - more than anything else - that they wanted to make people dance. This realization triggered their search for a drummer and bassist. They signed on long-time friend Jesse Mattila (Drums) and after holding many tedious auditions they stumbled upon youngster, Anthony Maahs, to fill in the gaps on bass.

The members of West of Aldine have already begun to make a reputable name for themselves; however, fortune and fame they seek not. To be heard and respected as musicians in the Twin-Cities scene is what West of Aldine has set out to do. With some hard work and perseverance, they will easily achieve those goals in the upcoming years. For those who enjoy their music in its fullest flavor, go see West of Aldine live - they are guaranteed to satisfy.
