Indie Label Special Part 2: Fierce Panda enters teenage years with big party. All invited...
- Artists:
- Shitdisco »
I used to work for a record label
y’know. A hot little indie label in North London. However, they ejected me
because I kept supplying demos from odious little punk rockers. True story. On a
completely different note…
Independent label lovely Fierce
Panda is this spring celebrating thirteen years of existence. As you
probably know, this is the label who have brought us (amongst 150-odd others)
head-rearing tracks by Keane, Placebo, Coldplay, Bright
Eyes, Green Day, Art Brut, Idlewild, Kenickie
and… oh God, so many others.
To celebrate this raucous remit of
a decade-plus of gig ravaged livers, the Panda are having a birthday party.
At the Electrowerkz, Angel, on February
23rd, you can go purvey Shitdisco, Xerox Teens and Bolt
Action Five. Three Good Bands. Oh, and selection of lovely DJs like
Daughters Of Kaos, Baseball Furies and The Cleft Palettes.
In addition to this, DiS is both
supporting and representing (media partners, we call it in this new-fandangled
age of technology). And we’ll be presenting you with a quite intriguing and
hugely enjoyable label feature with the Panda in the coming weeks. Trust us,
inside the brain of Panda founder Simon Williams’ brain are a whole lot of
doors you should never open.
That information again in
easily-digestible format:

they
ejected you? how dare they. which label was it? i'll make sure i never speak to them again.
sadly FP
didn't release anyhting very good since 5 years apart from the Apartment
Bands like Absent Kid or Make good your escape are good but a bit formulaic indie rock...
Do Xerox Teens ever see their grannies?
Because they seem to be playing somewhere in London every day.
Xerox Teens
are playing for us in Bournemouth and Southampton in a few weeks. I cannot wait.
"inside the brain of Panda founder Simon Williams’ brain"
Sounds nightmarishly complicated...
Define independent
...aren't FP part of EMI?
i've seen in that brain's brain...
there is an endless series of ever tinier brains
with
right at the hub
a blinding light
a 20 Silk Cut (unopened)
a pint of really cold beer
and a bottle of Merlot,
and a rabbitcostume
