The Great Northwest (previously The Every Thing) is a neo-psychedelic project created by studio engineer and producer Brian J. Coates. The group is based around a collective philosophy in which "every one is welcome to participate". Their debut album was recorded in Fresno, California and Portland, Oregon in 2006 and was released in 2008.[citation needed]
The group went on their first East Coast tour in late 2006 playing the CMJ festival in New York City (with guest drummer Courtney Taylor-Taylor) and the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.[1] The group toured again in 2008 in support of Dead Meadow[citation needed] before releasing their debut album "The Widespread Reign of The Great Northwest" on The Kora Records in 2008.[2]
