Welcome to Pacific Northwest Bands Here you will find a collection of over TWO THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED 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!!
Rob Selzler, The Crystals Steve Sharp, Ozone, Bullfrog and Vortex The memories are flooding my brain with all the good times I had with a bunch of good friends. Thank you very much. Richard Rossavik 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 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.
Thanks again, this would
have probably never happened without you.
I don't know what it is with us old guys, but we are all having so much fun, and it is so nice to see a great band from the 60's like the "Accents" get back in the fold. PNW Bands has a lot to do with it, and we can't thank you enough. Gerry Berg, Roger Jerome & The Casuals, Yeoman, RusHHour, Young & The Restless, Thank you for everything. Long lost friends have contacted me through your site and it's been wonderful. Dave Nelson, Applejack 1970 - 1976 Tim from Sundazed here. You have a a really cool site! Tim Livingston, Sundazed Music I'm sure you hear this all the time, but it's amazing the number of people who've found members of our group through the PNB site. I hear from them fairly regularly. So thanks a million for that." Denis Thievin, The Downbeats What a legacy you have created in this site and You are doing a great service for all the musicians and bands that came out of this Pacific Northwest.

Ronald Reagan Quotes Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away. The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.' The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much. Ronald Reagan
Thomas Jefferson Quotes When injustice becomes law resistance becomes duty. The republic will cease to exist when Government takes from those who are industrious and gives to those who refuse to work. Thomas Jefferson
Margaret Thatcher Quotes There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty. To cure the (Country) disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches. ...and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They [socialists] always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them. (TV interview for Thames TV This Week on Feb. 5, 1976) There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation. ...the unconditional supply of social benefits to those who were thought incapable of coping undermined the incentive to work and undercut the family unit. When all the objectives of government include the achievement of equality - other than equality before the law - that government poses a threat to liberty. A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master. They are the essence of a free country, and on that freedom all of our other freedoms depend. Margaret
Thatcher
THE WASHINGTON TIMES 6:51 p.m., Thursday, May 27, 2010 American
gun owners might not feel besieged, but they should. This week, the Obama
administration announced its support for the United Nations Small Arms
Treaty. This international agreement poses real risks for freedom both
in the United States and around the world by making it more difficult -
if not outright illegal - for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms

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. |
