Pandar
A sort of instrumental (some shows there are vocals sometimes not) band that started in february of 2004, by a couple of high school kids, and a skateshop owner. Being only fifteen years old and just learning about bands such as Slint, June of 44 , and shellac, the group was young and full of diverse inspiration. Some of the early songs sounded like bad modest mouse rip offs without vocals. If anyone attended an early show it was possible that you could have fallen asleep. the group split ways with Matt Tucker(formerly of cinderblock, evergreen, and The Glasspack) and guitarist Sloan Hilburn left shortly thereafter , leaving only a threepiece.The drumming switched hands from Chris Meachum to Matthew O'Connell in the summer of 2005 and the group took a step in the right direction recording a four track e.p. with chris owens called urgent four, referring to how short the cd was(4 songs a total of 8 minutes and 47 seconds.) After some personal differences the band played its last show on november 5th before undergoing a Massive lineup change. The lineup now includes Sean Roberts on drums, Duncan Cherry on bass, and David Brooks on guitar. The group is writing new music and plans to realeasea a 7 inch and possibly an LP sometime in 2006.
