3 Piece "Classic" Indie Rock band from Lethbridge Alberta
PandaCorn http://www.pandacorn.ca is the lovechild of dance floor fantasy and unabashed lyricism with a kick-drum heartbeat and rock n roll soul.
Based out of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, PandaCorn is the brilliant result
of the combined creative restlessness of a country sweetheart and a
’70s-inspired guitar hero. Unicorn-clad and panda-suited, Megan Nash and
Brodie Mohninger serve up harmonized sincerity on a bed of synth
bass and wet guitar lines. But looking beyond the quirky stage-wear and
your gyrating limbs, you will notice that there is really nothing
childlike or candy-coated about PandaCorn.
Shrugging off
youthful ideals and digging up questions about conventional living, Nash
and Mohninger write candidly on themes of the modern-day male and
female perspectives. From child rearing to forgotten friendships,
PandaCorn reflects on the stresses of everyday life through a
tongue-in-cheek lens, fearlessly focusing on what makes a heart heavy.
It is the dichotomy of their roots that makes Nash and Mohninger’s
collaborative sound so refreshing. Abandoning the country comfort of her
acoustic guitar for the foreign smoothness of synthesizer keys, Nash
lays down fat synth bass while crushing the whispering indie-queen
stereotype with her powerfully luscious vocals. Once the frontman of a
vintage-rock band, Mohninger eases up on self-indulgent shredding to
make room for an electric guitar across his lap and a microphone at his
lips. It’s this musical genealogy and evolution that makes PandaCorn so
effortlessly clever. Imagine Neko Case jumping into a time machine and
traveling back to the ‘90s to have a basement jam with the Pixies.
That’s PandaCorn.
So what do you get when you cross the fascination of a mythical beast with the realism of an endangered species?
