I've finally decided to put up some new/old tracks here on myspace. Below is a brief description regarding each selection. Peace, Blessings & Joy. Panhead

1. LA LA LAND by: XELAPAN

I met Alex Alverez (XELA) in the middle of the usa, in the middle of a farm at The Kansas New Music Festival. The farm was owned by the Westerman's and they were kind enough to allow a handful of us music lovers to start up a festival out there in the late '90's. XELA was on tour with his group Cow's in the Graveyard, myself Afinke Machine. We fell in love with one anothers music, vibe, spirit and have been working on projects ever since. Last year we recorded an album through the mail (snail mail), a first for both of us. We're musical compadres for life and have much, much more music to bring you. This version of LA LA LAND was recorded in Burbank, CA in Feb 2007, the two of us played all the instruments.


2. PERSISTENCE OF FREEDOM

The TROUBLE CREEK Project was formed with Rocco Guarino in 1996 shortly after I returned to the states from being in Trinidad, WI. At the time we met I was living in my van and vagabonding around playing instrumental pan gigs at cafe's/coffeehouses. We meet at a such coffeehouse located in CLearwater, FL - the place, Mother's Milk became our haven for the next year as I traveled in and out of town we steadily pieced together the group that lasted for the making of one album, Blue Earth. The lyrics on this tune were written by: Alex Kirt and inspired by my stories I was sharing with him of Trinidad. Joseph "Cass" Casatelli - bass, harmony vocals, Kris Hawkins - guitar, and Ayan Williams - drums. Ayan (Reginal) was the gem in the finding for Rocco and I. We discovered Ayan in Ybor City carting his drums around in a shopping cart and hitting on the streets...it was too cold in NYC in the winter to do such a thing so he came down to Florida. If you haven't heard of Ayan, you sure have danced to his beats. The tracks on the first Salt -n- Pepper CD were all made from Ayan drum tracks, He also toured with SUN RA for years and is the godfather of the buckets, he was the main cat 30 years back replacing guns with drum sticks and buckets in street kids hands in NYC. Rocco, Ayan and I ended up squating in a cottage and later travelled to Blue Earth Studios in Harrisburg, IL to make the record in 1997.


3. BLOOD SHOT

Recorded by my band AFINKE MACHINE in Wichita, KS between 2001 and 2002. Mark Lewis (six bass pans) and I had a studio in our basement, we called in Charles Franklin (chuck) as a guest vocalist/lyricist. Chuck came on down and laid down these vocals onto the bed track I wrote. True basement recording at it's finest, no click, no hi tech equiptment, no cut and paste...simply pure passion and drive! This recording features myself on tenor and double second pans, Troy Olson - guitar/quad pans, Keith McGee - drums, David Arrocho - percussion, Mark Lewis - six bass pans and special guests Sterling Gray - Piantar and DeAndre Manning - electric bass. AFINKE MACHINE still lives in some form or another, we tend to reunite once a year for a series of gigs throughout the heartland of America.


4. CALM OF THE STORM - TORNADO SEQUENCE

This free form composition of mine was comissioned by Exploration Place in Wichita, KS. It was used as part of a tornado simulation piece in the theatre of theirs. At the end of the piece is a very, very rare moment, hearing me play traditional drum kit, I totally rock out the swing style...pure adrenaline. Somewhere in the agreement of me selling this I was lead to believe that I could still use it for promotional purposes...I hope they don't arrest me for posting it here on myspace.

Thanks for listening to my creations, I'll be trading tunes out with others every now and then. Love and Light - panhead

The Songs of XE LA & the Sounds of Panhead Deliver a Fuse of Music That Ignites the Mind.

Feb. 5, 2007

Traveling music educator & composer Joseph "Panhead" Peck performs the bright dancing strikes of the steel drum (pans) that ring the truest sound of Trinidad. These warm Caribbean tones accompany art rock & soul jazz dub executed by Cleveland, Ohio songster XE LA on vox & guitar. Both musicians are native to Northeast Ohio, however, they met by chance at a music festival in Kansas, where Peck studied at WSU and later directed the WSU Steel Pan Orchestra, while performing in separate groups in 1998. Instant friends and adventurers, years would pass before their paths would cross again and encourage some gig swapping. Now traveling with a sound that works for both young and old and with a fresh and living soul...XE LA PAN presents MELLA DAY, a collection of works composed and arranged by both artists. Their sound has been received with joy and celebration from Los Angeles, CA to Cleveland, OH, a sound that makes everyone move together, spanning the cultures and styles of music that inspire XE LA PAN to inspire other.

XE LA PAN duo performs two shows this week in Wichita, KS.
