Since the beginning, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad has concentrated on being a favored live experience. Shows are different night by night and contain unique energies reflective of the time, space, place, and community present during the performance. We are excited to bring the LIVE PANDA experience beyond the concert hall and into your homes and domes, wherever you may roam. Shows are hand picked by the band and specially mixed and mastered by Panda engineer and frequency master Joel Scanlon. Enjoy performances featuring special guests and once in a lifetime jams from unexpected places. Hear with your ears the different directions a song can take in a night, from tour to tour, and year to year. Music is its own life form. It changes and morphs by its own accord. The band obeys and submits to this hierarchy in attempts to hone this highly potent energy. The LIVEPANDA.COM movement attempts to document this journey and crystallize the magic of improvisation that occurs in our music through the harmonization of song forms and live dub.
We live in a special time together. As musical styles merge and recording techniques progress there will always be a unique mystic and power embedded in the energy of the live experience. It is a circular feed between the audiences and artists of blending vibrations and creativity into one communal meditation.
LIVE UP!! Volume II LIVE UP!! Volume II is Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad's second documentation of the group's sonic journey together through life and musical creation. In 10 unreleased recordings, LIVE UP!! Volume II showcases the quartet's explorations into new territories of sound and style. The recordings featured were compiled from two shows in GPGDS' March/April 2010 tour from the Southeastern USA through the mountains of Colorado. From an opening set for G. Love & Special Sauce in Fayetteville AR to a packed headliner in Fort Collins CO, LIVE UP!! Volume II selections were hand picked by the band and mixed by their engineer Joel Scanlon. The compilation of live recordings seeks to bring the listener into the improvisational atmosphere that GPGDS prefers to dwell in. The ten tracks flow through each other, often disintegrating from the typical song form into dub inspired soundscapes and rhythmic climaxes. The simple song writing of guitarist Dylan Savage and bassist James Searl is complimented by the multi keyboard stylings of Aaron Lipp on Hammond Organ, Clavinet, and Fender Rhodes, as well as the highly original hard driving rhythms of drummer Chris O'Brian. LIVE UP!! Volume II also represents the first release of material that features all four members of GPGDS on vocals. The outcome is electrified American folk music. Joel Scanlon's live engineering is an atypical real time approach of hands on analog dub improvisation, more representative of a jazz musician then a basic sound monkey adjusting levels. Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad is furthering their embrace of group based improvisation through the art of the simple song. Ultra fast at some points and super slow at others, LIVE UP!! Volume II represents a slew of styles honed by GPGDS. LIVE UP!! Volume II marks the opening the floodgates of many live high quality releases from Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad through their new website LIVEPANDA.COM. Thank you and enjoy the music.
Limited Edition CD LIVE UP!! Volume II will have 500 limited edition copies printed, for sale while supplies last. They will be available starting at the hometown Rochester NY concert taking place on Saturday, September 11 at Water Street Music Hall.

Local blood and sweat was used to make every aspect of this tangible item for you to cherish and add to you musical collection. We are very proud to announce that the artwork of LIVE UP!! Volume II will be our first public collaboration with artist and mystical genius of a best friend Alex "Chops" Fals, native of Naples NY. Alex has a unique style of screen printing that GPGDS is obsessed with and we are very excited to embark on several artistic endeavors together. Please enjoy and look for more of his work in the future. We love you. See you at the shows!
