“Scott West Opens For YES At Humphreys Concerts By The Bay! I heard a seamless transition from a sizzling DePue solo into Cut It Phat, an upbeat, funky Scott West tune. A good sign of things to come, because one of the things I appreciate most about a band is how “together” they are. The Scott West Band had that goin' on this day! "The set of Scott's original music progressed, with a little solo spot for Alex's earnest medley of rock/pop songs (including YES' Owner Of A Lonely Heart and Michael Jackson's Beat It), through a range of moods from upbeat funk and blues to sultry latin flavors with some nice, radio-friendly pop tunes. All very smooth and seemingly effortless. Scott and Alex compliment each other very well, very gracious with each others talents and very aware that there's an audience out there, hanging on their every note." -Dave Sawyer- ”

“Scott West & Sex On Sunday (SEX ON SUNDAY CD) "All of the lyrics come to you easily and many stay with you for a good long time. There are some impressive orchestrated set-ups to the song lists on this album, great tingling of the ivories, and some jammin' guitar work. This is a polished CD with a vintage British (think Beatles) influence. The songs are catchy, clever and I predict their next venture into the studio will bring them overdue fame and fortune."

“Backstage at Humphrey’s with Yes On August 4, local duo Scott West and Alex DePue opened up for prog rock legends Yes at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay. DePue, who’s been touring and recording with Steve Vai since 2007, landed the Vai gig via a YouTube video featuring DePue’s arrangement of a Yes tune, “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” which has so-far scored over a half million views. “One of the high points of the day,” says West, “was when the members of Yes came out of their dressing rooms during our soundcheck to listen to Alex's arrangement of ‘Owner Of A Lonely Heart.’ I looked over, and there was Chris Squire, Alan White, Geoff Downes, and Steve Howe listening.” -Jay Alan Sanford-”

“100,000 Views - Scott West & Standing On The Moon Go Viral! 'West credits Tesla for making SOS happen saying, “I really owe everything to Brian’s friendship and help. He didn’t have to take 9 months of his life to help make the record, and Frank Hannon didn’t have to put his heart and soul into the recording and band the way that he did either. And Troy (Luccketta) flew in from Phoenix to help.” Now five years later, West’s first single from SOS (Standing On The Moon) has logged over 100,000 views on Youtube and West’s 2011 Cowboys & Aliens music video collaboration with Ocean Beach singer songwriter Justin Werner has already passed 33,000 total views.' -Brendan Tyler- ”
