This is Pandafied

For any one who wants to read, this is the history of Pandafied.  Pandafied was started in January of 2002 with members Tom Janowski, Cam Salvatore, Chris Landolt, and Chris Taurasi. They wrote one song together and the chemistry was good but something was missing.
 
Wanting to spice things up Pandafied called up Chris Bigelow in early Febuary to play in the band as a second guitar.  Pandafied wrote many of their early songs at this point they were, Hot Rod, Terra Groove, Comic Style, Euphoria, and Mexican Jake.  During this time Pandafied played its first show at the Palladium as a result of this show Pandafied got 12 hours in Black Hills Recording studio. 
 
Over the summer Pandafied hooked up with Ryan Brumit who was the former singer of Gepettos Workshop.  Pandafied asked Ryan to Join their band as a second singer.  This is when What We Are was written.  And Pandafied was now complete, they went to the studio to record their first C.D. September 20th and 21st. 
 
Pandafied played their first show as a whole band at the Needham High School battle of the bands, they took first place and have since been selling their C.D.'s as well as playing as many shows as possible and writing new music. 
 
Since day one Pandafied has been experimenting with different styles of music and has created an origenal sounding style of regae, rock, funk, and melodic vocals to wrap it all together

Chris Bigelow-
Age-16

Hey what's going on, I am Chris Bigelow and I play guitar in the band. I play a PRS custom 22 and play out of a Line6 Spyder212. I have a variety of effect pedals including: wah wah, octave, flanger, chorus, delay/echo, phaser, volume swell, and rotosphere. I hope to be adding more to the list soon. Most of my influences are 311 and Incubus. Music is my life and I don't really know what I would do without it. Hope to see you at our shows.

Ryan Brumit-
Age-17

Hey, I'm Ryan Brumit and I'm on vocals for Pandafied.  After playing a lot of music with quite a few different people and bands all throughout high school, I was asked into Pandafied in the summer of 2002.  Since this was right after the break-up of Gepettos Workshop, I was looking for a new group to explore different types of sounds with.  And after recording, writing several songs, and playing very successful shows with Pandafied, I have come to the profound realization that this is exactly what I want in a band. the right style of chill music, and a dynamic relationship with an extremely chill group of guys.  Since I grew up listening to the Beatles, Incubus, Soulive, and other bands who write what they feel and not what is expected of them, I am very content and thankful for the opportunity to be in a band such as this.  For those who have enjoyed our music thus far, I want to say we will be writing with open minds so always remember to listen with an open mind too.

Tom Janowski-
Age-15

Hi im Tommy Janowski (guitar) I play a Epiphone sun burst, Les Paul with many less effect pedals than bigelow I have a metal zone distortion pedal and a bad horsie wah wah pedal. I play out of a Fender Ultimate Chorus amp. I have a couple more guitars that I like to play, just to try and bring a differnt sound to the band. some of my influences are Jimi Hendrix, 311, Incubus, Red Hot Chili peppers, and, The Liquid tension experiment. I look forward to working with Pandafied and hope to see everyone who comes here at our shows
