Artist History Originally started as "Your Momma And The Papas," however the bass player left and then came Brendan, who formed Awest with the remaining members of "Your Momma and The Papas."We have played since then with a member from P-Funk, and quite a few different drummers, till we eventually found the one that made the band groove the most. Now dominating the Philly funk scene, Awest will live forever in the city of brotherly love.
