ADAM WEST was formed in the early 1990s, when singer Jake Starr decided to form a 60s garage band. ADAM WEST started gigging around Washington, D.C. and soon built up a local following. Jake immediately started his own label, Fandango Records, and started recording and releasing AADAM WEST material. Their first single in 1993 ´´I Get a Sensation´´ was a rave-up garage slice and got ADAM WEST international attention. This record began the record collector´s nightmare that is the ADAM WEST discography! As of the beginning of 2006, ADAM WEST has released circa 30 7-inch singles, one 10-inch EP, eight CDs, and has made over 35 high-profile appearances on various compilation CDs. Check their discography and be scared . . . be very scared!
Through all this recording and mayhem, ADAM WEST has toured the USA and Europe many times. They have rocked with some of the best bands in the genre: 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.
