They got their fave seats, second row of tables in the middle. The stage was in front of a large poly-titanium bulkhead which amplified the bass frequencies, and made the experience even more intense. She passed him the micro-vape, and he took a long hard draw. This was the best smoke in the galaxy, when Europe sank into the sea in 2997 many citizens of Holland went straight to the greenhouses of Mars, and their inherent growing skills were then passed along through the entire Mars starcruiser line. When Mars blew up in 3015, the Starcruisers were already legend with their prime nightlife and top grade buds. Tonight's selection was particularly potent, due to the special event.

 An archaeologist exploring the remains of Earth had discovered an underground bunker designed for nuclear survival. Some of the electronic devices in the bunker  actually survived the asteroid impact, and one in particular had caught his attention. The data was indeed intact, and the first name on the playlist took his breath away. Some of their music had survived, for they were the roots of all interstellar nightclub bands. But here it was, the entire discography, even pictures, video files, info on each member. The data was retrieved and tonight it would debut, right here.

 Some of the opening acts were decent, even good. Each one did a cover of the ancient legends, some were actually very nice. But everyone was getting restless, they wanted to hear the new found mix of the masters, for tonight, here on the best soundsystem in the largest starcruiser in the galaxy, the entire collection would be played. 

 The room went dark. Everyone was still. A massive wave of bass warped across the floor, and hard snares began to smash out of the speakers. She passed him the micro-vape and he took another drag. They held their glasses of Centaurian wine and toasted. They finally got to hear all of it, every last bit. For the first time in over a thousand years, Dead Panda was rocking........

 Greeting, true believers! It's time for more Panda chat with the electro-dub renegades that keep all the 'indie' rock bands nervous, Dead Panda!  

Ok- we said we'd play some all ages type stuff, we did, so alright. 

Yeah, we played a Hot Topic. One kid made a beeline for us, and his mom tackled him.
(Too late lady, he is hooked now, and in a band he will be.) We started with a small crowd, when we finished the place was packed wall 2 wall. 

 Nobody holds up lighters at shows anymore, they hold up cellphones. So many people took pics of us at HT it should be licensed. We had a blast, we did NOT expect such a strong reaction. You might think that groupies would not be attacking at a shopping mall, but you would be mistaken. Flattered but frightened, we managed to nicely escape from the parking lot.

 We played CIA, it was fun. The place looks like my brother's house (even had some dead gators and shrunken heads! All it needed was The Cramps). We did our own sound (natch, and we were glad we did). Not the crowd we expected (does Sunset have us spoiled?) but still a great evening. 

 So, we got some remixes a'coming... Taylor from Romak & The Space Pirates as well
as Frail Limb Purity from Phoenix are both producing Dead Panda remixes soon. There is also a Saint-produced remix coming too, a dancehall mix for the LSP purists. 

 And right after that happens, there will be another Dead Panda CD.

And yes, that song you all keep bugging me about will be on it. We hear you...
In fact, the whole damn thing will be called "SMOKES LIKE DRAGON, DRINKS LIKE FISH".... I am personally excited because I get to play piano on this new disc, and we'll also be featuring Mary Panda on her new Theremin (she built her own Theremin) as well as C-Los on some new percussive orchestration.

All the new tracks will be available online through Oseao Media Group at all online sites.

Until next week, same Panda time, same Panda channel!

...and be careful what music you release, you never know where it may get played in a thousand years :)    - - -  Saint
