Patrick Lew Band EPK

Jump, Rattle and Roll to our rock and roll freak show. 

The Patrick Lew Band (stylized as PLB) is a music project with roots in San Francisco, Japan, and Taiwan. Inspired by artists as diverse as The Beatles, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones, Patrick managed to come up with a melodic, yet energetic songwriting style that feels absolutely one-of-a-kind. From brit pop, to garage and punk, but also some dreamier textures, the possibilities are truly endless! Patrick has a diverse approach as a songwriter, and his trusty band is there to help him make his vision come true, one song at a time!

Born in San Francisco CA on November 15, 1985, Patrick Lew is a second generation Asian-American of Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese descent. Whether by fate or coincidence, the eclecticism of Lew’s heritage is mirrored by the path his music has taken. Sometimes it’s credited to his Patrick Lew Band, and other times to his musical pseudonym, The Steel Lions, but the music is always a raw and loose mix of garage punk, grunge, and no nonsense rock and roll. Lew has been spending well over a decade practicing his craft, perfecting his sound, building an internet fan base, and putting himself into a position to take the music community by storm.

Flash forward through the years of friends, start-up bands, school, life in general, and eventually Lew found himself playing full-time with his group, TheVerse. Once he enrolled in California State University Hayward, going for his B.A. in Philosophy and Music. his musical talent still flourished in his writing and self-recording, especially partway through college in 2009. It was around this point that he began investing time into the Patrick Lew Band.

While primarily a rhythm guitar player, Lew’s been able to self-record much of his own music with a larger band sound by picking up the bass and programming some drum tracks to accompany him. Through the magic of the internet and home recording equipment, Lew’s also been able to collaborate with a lot of different musicians, each of them contributing to the library of songs in Lew’s arsenal. That was just the beginning of the story!

Don't miss out on their most recent releases, including full-length albums and a handful of EPs detailing their journey through music and creativity!
