Welcome
to Pacific Northwest Bands
Here
you will find a collection of over TWO THOUSAND Pacific Northwest bands
that existed between 1954 and 1979. There are also NW bands from
1980 to present that had or have as its members, musicians and vocalists
who had their early music roots thoroughly entrenched in the early days
of Pacific Northwest music from 1954 to 1979.
This
site was created through the collective efforts of the Northwest musicians,
their friends and fans.
What
Some Said About PNW Bands
This
site is one of the best things to have happened to Northwest musicians;
it salutes them all for helping to create the unique NW spin on Rock and
Roll, Country, Blues, and jazz that we have enjoyed for the last 50 years.
Thank you!!
Phil Mitchell, The CherChers & Red Thelin's Country Starlighters
WOW!!
What a place! PNW Bands is like a book you can’t put down, especially
for those of us fortunate to have been part of the “Garage Band” phenomenon
of the early 60s.
Rob Selzler, The Crystals
I love
pnwbands.com! I've been there a few times, and I always spend at
least an hour looking up old friends and/or bands I used to go see back
in the day.
Steve Sharp, Ozone, Bullfrog and Vortex
WOW! I don't know how long your
website has been up but I just found it and went crazy seeing and listening
to it. I was born and raised in Aberdeen and attended every dance
I could.
The memories are flooding
my brain with all the good times I had with a bunch of good friends.
Thank you very much.

I saw John Kennedy at our
40th high school reunion this summer. I told him about the website.
I also saw Randy Johnson who was one our guitarist for a short time.
He is making a living as a musician. I also got together with Rowland
Brasch and Brian Williamson and we had a good visit over brunch.
Again I want to thank you for providing the venue that allowed us all to
get back in touch. It is a great thing you have done.
George
Bryant, Brutus & the Bullies
Yes, because of PNWBands.com,
there have been hundreds and hundreds of buddies reconnecting and feeling
the friendships stored forever in the deepest chambers of our hearts...otherwise
known as "old tickers".
You were so supportive of
"The Burnaby Bands and Friends Reunion" in 2007. This event was most
successful, leading to a great 2008 event as well. You are
VERY much appreciated.
Barry Walker, (Northwest Company 1967-69.

The
creation of this website was an accident. What was originally intended
to be about one or two dozen band tribute pages added to The
Regents of Tacoma website to pay tribute to the bands playing in the
Pacific Northwest with the Regents in the early to mid-1960's got a little
out of hand. No sooner would our webmaster (Sam) finish one page,
then one or more of the musicians in that band would ask Sam if he would
make a page for their other band. Well, about two thousand band pages
later, Sam is still at it making new or updated pages almost daily. If
your band is not represented in this collection, it is because you haven't
submitted the information, not because Sam "missed" you.
If
you had or have a NW band that had members from the early days of Pacific
Northwest music (1954 - 1979), or if you have a current NW band and have
a member who is listed in one of the bands already on this site and would
like to have that band represented here, please contact Sam, our Web
Slave |

THE
SOLDIERS, SAILORS, AIRMEN and MARINES in AFGHANISTAN
THANK
YOU FOR YOUR GIFTS & SUPPORT!!
If you want to send
goodies directly to the Troops in Afghanistan,
the best single place for them to reach everyone is the small USO at the
airfield where everyone from the NATO Forces enter and exit Afghanistan.
The weather in Afghanistan
in much like the area of Colorado just east of the Rockies.
Right now it is cold, so chocolates won't melt.
The address to send
goodies is:
Pat Tillman Memorial
USO
Bagram Airfield
APO AE 09354
Or
you may donate directly to the USO (click on the USO logo)
The
Web Slave would be happy to advise what is wanted and needed since he just
spent a year there. BTW, Seattle's Best coffee was a big hit there
whenever it showed up in a package (hint, hint).
