    54•40 has been telling Canada where they came from and where they’re going for the last 40 years. Now, it’s time for Neil, Brad, Dave, and Matt to reveal their band culture in a collection of songs called West Coast Band. Through self-referential and often very literal stories, the songs explore bizarre shenanigans, odd dynamics and personalities of its members.

lyrics

West Coast Band

This is a West Coast band
A Vancouver band
We gotta make fans
This is a West Coast band

Thanks for coming anyway you look like a band that can really play
But I don't need you I tell you straight I got a DJ and she works late
If you want to stay you won't get paid out in the lobby is where you'll play
Be on by 8 and don't be late and don't complain there's no booze here mate

What a dickhead what a man
He doesn't get it

This is a West Coast band
And we make fans
A Vancouver band
In an Econoline van

Thanks for coming anyway I got the demo I'm sure it's great
I never heard of you you've got no name so I won't listen and I won't play
I'm part lizard but mostly snake I don't care I'm so fake
It's not your game so go away but thanks for coming anyway

What a dickhead what a ham
He doesn't get it

This is a West Coast band
And have we got a plan
To move through the land
We're a West Coast band

Thanks for coming anyway hope you like the way we play
All you people you're so great we love you all you make our day
Time for us to go away we got a gig in the next city
Thanks for coming thanks for staying thanks for coming anyway

That's it you understand
You already know

We're a West Coast band
A Vancouver band
We've got our own group of fans
And we execute our plans
'Cause we're a West Coast band
