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.
