Greetings true believers!
Time for another Dead Panda blog- it has been a long time coming! We have been extremely busy- the video, shows, contract stuff, etc.

So if you haven't seen the video for "Million Dolar Dub" go to YouTube and see it now.
We are extremely happy about our debut video. Monte and Garret did a great job on location, and the final edit is outstanding. We wanted to do something 'different', so Mary stops playing in the middle of the song to shoot someone. Yes, it's a bit 'edge',
and maybe a little too wild for some websites (wussies!) but it looks and sounds great, there is a comment on YT that is like a "little movie", we agree...

It was not easy shooting in L.A. proper, it was not the best neighborhood you could visit, there was a man with a machete (thanks to Barney and crew for chasing him off) Mary witnessed two hookers beat a john up (!!!) and there was a drunk man wandering around asking everyone if they'd seen who stole his shoes (no we didn't).

Mad love to the crew and everyone who showed up, we got double the crowd we expected, and the after-party raged on through the night.... Special thanks to Joey for DJing the party and to COMA artspace for renting us the location.

Big thanks for Monte and the rest of BOTC! We will collab again!

Monkeyboxing (UK) has posted a review of the video, they call Dead Panda
"tripped out L.A. beatfreaks"....

Dead Panda is signing up "Million Dollar Gun" to Oseao Media Group (OMG).
Our ep will be available for download VERY soon- on ALL sites!
We are extremely pleased to be teaming up with Oseao, they are definitely a label
that has a handle on this ever-changing modern music market.

Props to Jon from Oseao, not just our fave A&R man but also one hell of a DJ!

We played last Friday at Crane's Hollywood Tavern, if you haven't checked out Crane's before then you must make it to the next show- It is a very cool place. It's very small but very old-Hollywood, right out of a classic movie!

We will be playing Crane's again soon for a special outdoor event.... don't miss it!
Big up to T-Roy for booking & promoting Friday's event!

And after the show we took the crew over to Glow, a very upscale club in Marina Del Rey, we had an awesome time, even though it was a tad chilly outside. Jon Lemmon from Oseao was on the decks, it was a great mix and we'll be back there
too. Thanks Jon!

Dead Panda will be playing THIS SUNDAY in Venice Beach at CLUB GOOD HURT.
You know we always have a great time at CGH (in case you didn't know, CGH is staffed by hot nurses!). Dead Panda will be in Venice Beach most of the day, hanging out on the strand & drinking & smoking & playing in the drum circle, then over to Good Hurt for a wild Dead Panda set including new songs from their upcoming album.

We all hope to see you next Sunday in Venice Beach at Club Good Hurt !!!

Until then, same Panda time, same Panda channel....
