Great goal for a new band to have... GREAT quote! Here's how The Broken West see their band.
"We wanna be like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. That's the model. You wanna have the great writer, the great songs, the solid rhythm section, the great lead guitarist that can take you in a hundred different directions so you don't sound like Wolfmother. . . . I don't wanna be the fuckin' Velvet Underground, where you put out three or four records and then the band breaks up, never gets back together, and you never even get paid for those records—all you get is a lifetime of other bands ripping you off. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, that's where it's at. They've been around for, like, 30 years, have all these great songs, keep putting out great songs, are humble, and are still a killer live band. That's what we wanna be when we grow up."
