Fresh off the back of the WAMIs festival and a brief east coast run, Perth’s The Panda Band brace themselves for their national ‘Charisma Weapon’ Album Tour.
Recently returning to the touring circuit after an extended break from the Australian spotlight, The Panda Band were received back with open arms at this years 2011 WAMIS… “It was nice to see The Panda Band back up on stage” Triple J Home&Hosed blog.
Since the success of their debut single ‘Sleepy Little Deathtoll Town’ and subsequent album release of ‘This Vital Chapter (We’re Almost Not Even Here)’, The Panda Band have been busy touring America, writing and building their own home studio to record their heavily anticipated sophomore album. The new release is more of a collective effort than ever before, with the band members sharing the writing process equally as well as taking on production endeavours.
Offering the first taste of the new album to their fans as a FREE DOWNLOAD, the new single ‘The Fix’ was promptly added to Triple J and heralded as Beat Magazine’s single of the week. “A ballsy, day glo baroque pop single….fleshy and ambitious tune” 01/06/11.
Remaining true to their independence, The Panda Band’s ‘Charisma Weapon’ is set for release July 15th, on their own label Bam*Boo Records through MGM.
