Edit history

Pangolin Band came together in 2002 in Melbourne, Australia. The band consists of Paul Hughan (guitar), Barry Mason (drums), and Gerrit Thomson (bass). Their debut CD TRB features vocals from well-known Melbourne funk and soul singer Kylie Auldist (Brown Hornet, Bomba, Renee Geyer, Small Fish Deep Sea), and solo artist Wendy Rule. Pangolin Band's music is equal parts rawness and lushness, like a panorama of Australian summer sky seen through a bug-spattered windscreen on the lazy rush of a car trip to the beach. Serenity is a word not often associated with rock music, but it is readily apparent in the sound of the Pangolin Band. Like the landscapes and sensations of the Australian summer that they evoke, Pangolin Band has a huge energy that can become trancelike. They have the luster and spaciousness of the Cocteau Twins and The Church, but with the rock and roll thud and jazzy clatter of the great power trios such as Cream and The Hendrix Experience.
