About Wess Meets West
Wess Meets West began in 2005 as a studio project. From these inconspicuous beginnings came an amoebic evolution of various sounds, contributors, and influences that eventually resulted in their 2011 full length, “Chevaliers”. Wess Meets West (Sam Stauff, Erick Alfisi, Nick Robinson, and Andrew Porta) move beyond any number of noisy “post rock” contemporaries in an attempt to harness a deeper narrative, one imbued with both history and odyssey. Their new album “When The Structures Fail Us” was released on February 25, 2014. 

About The Once In A Lifetime Art Exhibition
