Panda Riot
Summary by Kathryn Durfee
Panda Riot came together in July of 2005 as members Brian Cook, Rebecca Scott, and a drum machine were working on a short film. Scenes from their film inspired a "swirl-pop, sonar sort of aesthetic" that they enjoyed enough to make a band out of it. They've added bassist Justin and are currently playing shows in Chicago while working on a new record.
This will be Panda Riot's first year at Athens PopFest.
