More music you've never heard on Hey You Listen to This**.** Hailing from Manchester, **Westside Cowboy** are…
Let's talk about your evolution as a band.
How did it all come to be in the early days? You've been together for a couple of years now? Probably three
now,
I reckon.
No, August.
August.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're in August.
There's a band anniversary.
I don't know.
We could probably find out when the first thing was done.
James has a picture of Paddy and Roadhouse from the day.
Oh,
yeah.
And I have the bag.
I have my sister's kid bag.
Because Paddy, the day we started West Side Cowboy, Paddy bought this Telecaster that had been absolutely destroyed from Johnny Roadhouse.
And James has a photo of him with the Telecaster and I'm in the background with a bag that's about this big and it's like rainbow galaxy something.
I think it used to be my sister's and maybe I had it for like three days.
It sounds like a bit of a hallucination.
It was very
strange.
But now I'm remembering you with a tiny bag.
Well aside from really kitsch luggage, what was it that brought you all together?
Music, proximity, friendship, probably just those things.
