Band biography:X-Panda is a progressive metal and fusion band from Estonia.
The band is known for their concerts full of emotion and power - pure pleasure
for people who like to dream, imagine and feel. The music of X-Panda will
move both experienced musicians and just music lovers. Their creations are full
of surprises and changes of mood, sounds, complex rhythmical characters, rhythmic
illusions, jazz-fusion chord progressions, mean and evil guitar riffs and in
all this one can also find heroic film music melodies that you can sing along
to.
X-Panda tries to expand their musical horizon and knowledge
by creating technically and musically more entertaining music for themselves in
the first place.
The band was founded as a one time project for an
original song competition in april 2009. They ended up winning the
competition with a song "Dickybirds". The feedback for
such unusual music approach was extremely positive, so they decided
to continue as a band. X-Panda has won several competitions, including the
title Noortebänd 2010, which is one of the two biggest band competitions held
in Estonia.
X-Panda released their debut album ´´Flight of Fancy´´ in september 2011 Kaarel Tamra about X-Panda:
It is so cool that sometimes when beginning to
describe a particular riff or pattern, they already know what to do without me
even saying it. I find that really rare and special. We have a
really good chemistry and
we are all such good friends. The band is like a summer holiday -everybody
is anxiously waiting for the rehearsals and
concerts. They´re just so much fun, because we can do exactly what we want!" |
