The Broken West is an American power pop band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 2004, and now signed to Merge Records. The members are Ross Flournoy (guitar, vocals), Dan Iead (guitar, backing vocals), Brian Whelan (bass, backing vocals), Rob McCorkindale (drums, percussion), and Scott Claassen (keys, backing vocals). Recently, drummer Rob McCorkindale was replaced by Sean McDonald on drums. McCorkindale's first child was recently born, leading to his departure. Also, Jeff Howell(Dan Iead's high school friend from Connecticut) has joined The Broken West as their touring keyboardist, playing synth, organ and piano. Initially named The Brokedown, they changed their name in 2006 because of legal concerns with a Chicago band with a similar name. Their debut full-length release is I Can't Go On, I'll Go On, referencing a Samuel Beckett quote.
