This Guy Loves Our Band
This is a review from a show on 12/22/08, but it took us a long time to post it because we were too busy practicing our sweet tech chops.
The aimless wanderings of Lancaster PA’s Pandas proved to be more than a bit of a turn-off. With little to no linearity or time devoted to developing any one groove, it was like listening to a bunch of one-liners strung together with no apparent theme. A technically proficient prog-wank, they schizophrenically blasted all over from a third-wave ska backbeat to metal cliche to self-indulgent prog, all at balls-to-the-wall rock pacing and volume. The contrast to Caverns’ set just before was unfavorable for Pandas and accentuated a relative lack of song-writing.
Sorry, my CSS seems to be randomly making some words bigger than others. Oh well. Read the full review here.
