P and A Follow Up

Just a few quick questions to catch up in the lives of the Panda boys.. well.. Petros' and Louie's for now at least.. hah

Any progress on ideas for album title or have you already decided on one?

• Louie: none so far.
• Petros: it's probably gonna be self titled, whatever we choose as the final name for our band

How was it to be back in the bay playing a show?

• Louie: It was fuckin awesome, kind of sucked for me to be back for such a short amount of time, but whatev, playing a sold out show always kicks ass.
• Petros: fukin sick. fan base was hot

New name... close to choosing/have chosen/what is it?

• Louie: As of now, Hey Panda, but knowing us, it could change the night before we send out artwork for CDs, merch, etc.
• Petros: maybe Hey Panda

When is the new album going to be available?

• Louie: Hopefully Jan 13, since we gots this sick show with the Lovemakers and Malroid at Du Nord. I think it would be a perfect opportunity to drop the new album.
• Petros: Late January

Where did you record for the new album?

• Louie: Drums at Skyline studios, and guitars, bass, keys, vocals at two different producer's houses.
• Petros: skyline studios, friends houses

Who's producing the new album?

• Louie: Doobie (aka Jonny Genius from Maldroid), and Toby somethin.
• Petros: Johnny Genius, Toby Wincorn

Any plans for a tour over summer or something?

• Louie: We'll see, obviously it would be sick to tour, but I mean with Joey's new venue, the Craneway, coming along everyday, I wouldn't mind chillin in the Bay over the summer, and opening shows for Green Day, Ben Folds, and Modest Mouse once or twice a month.
• Petros: nope

Anything else new with Panda?

• Louie: I mean not that i can think of, I mentioned the show we gots coming up in Jan 13, with the Lovemakers and Maldroid, Joey's new venue, CD, band name, I think that's pretty much it. I mean in case people don't know, we have decided to record a full length CD with 10 tracks, as supposed to a 7 track EP. We recently got done writing a new song (8th overall), which we premiered at our last show at BOTH, it's called, "I Let It Out," and it is off da hizzy. My hopes are that we can pen at least one more track that is the same type of style as Chinatown, just so we don't have an overload of poppy, piano driven songs. ya dig?
• Petros: just doin more recording on this album. adding crazy parts modulatin crazy keys spittin crazy lyrics
