Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad Live @ Club Infinity 09.13.2008 MP3
GPGDS killed it on Saturday night here in Buffalo. I went to this show unsure of what to expect. I had heard the guys on Sirius and listened to a few of their shows on The Archive but wasn’t completely sold. I love keyboards in a band and GPGDS has a dynamic duo that laid down sick rhythms entire night. GPGDS music just makes a person feel good. It’s some kind of natural aphrodisiac that gives you a sense of elation that is rarely found in music. Think The Wailers meets The Dead and you’ve got GPGDS.
Who is GPGDS? They are a 6 member band from Rochester NY. The bands name comes from a Tim Robbins Novel who the bands members are fans of. In the book there’s a band called Giant Panda Gypsy Blues Band. They wanted to have an original name that wouldn’t be confused with any other bands. The band has been together since 2001 and released their debut album in 2006 titled Slow Down. Even though the band is from Rochester just down the road from Buffalo this was their first time playing here. They had a great turn out from their fans and promised to come back again soon.
I had planned on getting an SBD recording of the show but I didn’t have the right cables so I had to settle for an AUD recording. There is some audience chatter on some of the songs but overall it came out really well.
