About Me

50ft Panda are / were a 2 piece instrumental rock band based in Oxford with 2 records to their name. Now on hiatus due to various travelling things and both leaving Oxford it seems the days of the Panda are over. However Chris and I will hopefully do some more stuff together at some point but what and when is a mystery. Cheers to anyone who ever came to see us play, we've had an shit load of fun over the last 2 years.
So go and check out the EPs, both of which are available from the excellent www.tootingbizarre.org. and also delve into all the other superb albums available for download on there. Particularly, might I say, the Olid EP which features members of 50ft Panda, Mayors of Miyazaki and Thumpermonkey Lives!.
Have a good 2009 people, maybe see you in 2010.

Now available for FREE download from Tooting Bizarre!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/17/2007
Band Website: www.50ftpanda.com
Band Members: Tom Waters - Riffs
Chris Hutchinson - Rhythms
Influences: Rocking out. Hard. For ages.

Sounds Like: 50ft Panda maintain a strong grip on what’s important for a good live show: they rock, and they do so relentlessly and brilliantly.
Simon Minter - Nightshift Oxford Jul 07

From the outer limits of the metal orbit, a wibbling terrorcore instrumental 2-piece who mash face-shredding riffs over a carpet bomb beats, 50ft Panda will make you spit your drink out in that fun kind of way.
Andy - The Dragon's Ball

It’s all about the riffs, say 50ft Panda, and they’re not wrong. Frenetic but not frantic, intricate but not overly precious, heavy but not messily so, 50ft Panda are a whole heap of simple, bulldozing fun.
Demo of the Month - Nightshift Oxford Sept 07

The duo play a virtually uncategorisable mix of white noise, heavy riffing and insanely complicated drumming, made all the more terrifying by the fact that they introduce each song in such a quiet, unassuming manner. Intense stuff - definitely a band to look out for in the near future.
