In their hometown of Washington, DC, Adam West has won six Wammie Awards for Best Hard Rock Group and Best Hard Rock Vocalist from the Washington Area Music Association!

Adam West is currently working on a new album due for release in Spring 2008. A full six-week tour of Europe is planned for Summer 2008.
