Alternative rock band Panda performed two consecutive shows in Los Angeles, in House of Blues of both Anaheim and Sunset, this weekend to celebrate their latest albums and to announce their upcoming album releasing at the end of the year.
They performed tunes from all their past albums, from hits like “Disculpa los Malos Pensamientos” from their Para Ti Con Desprecio album to “Narcisista por Excelencia” from Amantes Sunt Amentes, to a solo performance of “Amnistía” by lead singer Jose Madero from their Poetics album.
The crowd was enthusiastic and anxious to see their favorite band come back after a couple of years of absence. Once the curtains open, everyone was in awe as the introduction began and the band members appeared one by one. Panda began their show with “Bonanza,” and had the audience’s feelings on the line throughout the concert with edgy transitions like playing the slower and melancholic song “Los Malaventurados No Lloran” to faster paced “Procedimientos Para Llegar a Un Común Acuerdo.”
The band gave an outstanding performance that satisfied their fans with even a trip down memory lane by performing their first single off their first album Arroz Con Leche “Verte Otra Vez.”
Panda’s new album is to be released at the end of the year, with touring and promotions in the beginning of 2014.
