Death Sentence: PANDA! are Kim West, Paul Costuros and Chris Dixon - a trio of San Franciscan musicians associated with the Bay Area's lively rock underbelly.
Death Sentence: Panda! draws heavily on traditional Chinese and Korean folk music, ragtime, New Orleans-style marching bands and hardcore punk. Cropped and impulsive pop songs bubble over with exuberance, forever underpinned by the group's unusual instrumentation of pitch-shifted clarinet, flute, xylophone and drums. Add to this mix Kim West's impassioned and oft-spooked vocal and Death Sentence: Panda! come into their own.
