Latvian Radio

Band,
Rock and Pop

After releasing three solo albums, NY based singer/songwriter PATRIC WESTOO, teamed up with longtime Morgantown, WV friends Kim Monday (multi instrumentalist and director of Frozen Sound recording studio), Mark Poole(63 Eyes and Phantom Six) and Brian Porterfield(Cheap Truckers Speed) to form THE B-SIDES in 2002. Their songs were short, raw, uncompromising and delivered with a great pop-sensibility. They released "Troubleshooting" in 2003. The opening track, "Letter To the National Enquirer", was nominated for best rock song at the independent "Just Plain Folks Music Awards" in Santa Ana, CA. When the time came to release their second record it was apparent that their name, the B-Sides, was taken many times over. They decided a change was necessary and went with LATVIAN RADIO. Same raw energy, armed with stronger songs and a bigger more elaborate sound. Their ever evolving lineup also includes Jason Victor(Steve Wynn& the Miracle 3) on guitar, Adam Jones(Jonestown) and Alex Baker on drums as well as Dilip Chandran(Jonestown) and Patrick Derivaz(Tom Verlaine) on bass
