The Panda Band are an indie pop band originating from Perth, Western Australia. Their unique brand of genre jumping music has earned them a reputation amongst local and international musicians alike. They have toured nationally as support acts for bands such as The Sleepy Jackson, Little Birdy, The Grates and Evermore. Biography The band originally existed in the late nineties as Philius Phog until Crosbie went travelling Europe. They reformed and played their first gig as Generic Boy Band (with Crosbie, Namour, Nicotra and Chris Callan in the band) in an opening heat of the Australian National Campus Band Competition in the latter half of 2003, where they failed to make it past the first round. At the WAMi Weekender in June 2004, they played their first gig as The Panda Band, with late addition Steve Callan on keys, at a showcase which also featured The Nordeens and Ikey Mo at The Carton Hotel in Perth.
