Jet West

The musical journey for Jet West started in spring 2009 when singer-guitarist Chris Warner and singer Scott Floquet (Pyschoactive) partnered up to play house parties and charity events. As of 2010, the band also includes bassist Deren Schneider (the Tigersharks) and drummer Derek Potter.

Warner describes an early misfire for the band. “We played a show at one of our local favorite spots in OB, Winstons, in full snowboard gear to try something new. This was the worst idea ever as we all almost passed out from heat stroke. Our fans like to drink and buy us shots, so wearing three layers of snowboarding gear and jumping all around the stage was the worst decision we ever made.”

The band released a three-song demo CD in 2009. Their full-length debut Dropping In was released in September 2010. “The album title came to mind based on where our band is currently in the music industry,” says Warner. “We understand that we are just 'dropping in' with our debut album, just as we love to drop down waves from San Diego to Mexico. The cover art by Trevor Dawson is based on the notion that sometimes you want to Jet West and head somewhere closer to where the sun sets. In our album cover art, we portray this in an island setting.”

Their first music video, for their Dropping In song “Sunday,” was filmed in 1080p in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, and Ocean Beach.
