West Indian Girl is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, United States.
West Indian Girl singer and guitarist Robert James and bassist Francis Ten first met in Detroit in the early 1990s.
After Ten moved to Los Angeles, the pair continued their collaboration through the mail until James followed westward.
Taking their name from a strain of early street LSD, James and Ten signed with EMI's imprint Astralwerks and formed a proper band for live gigs.
In August 2007, the band signed a recording and wireless distribution deal with digital media and entertainment company Flycell.
