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 Noorteb�nd 2010, which is one of the two
biggest band competitions held in Estonia.
X-Panda released their debutalbum ��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!"

Thanks!! Two things: Can you replace in the text "LIIS RING" with "TAMAR NUGIS". Liis was in the band only in the beginning and was soon replaced with Tamar. Songs for streaming. Are soundcloud files ok for sharing or embedding or i will have to send you the files?
