Bio
Pancho-san is a band from San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley. It began as the home-recording project of Patrick Abernethy (formerly of the bands Beulah, and Rogue Wave) while he was in between tours. Mostly recorded on an 8-track cassette recorder, the songs were later brought into various recording studios, where lots of guests helped add the finishing touches- folks from bands like Beulah, Rogue Wave, Port O'Brien, Grand Lake, Golden Gram, and Sonya Cotton. In 2010, the band self-released it's first album titled "Oh, Mellow Melody". With Eli Crews (Beulah), and Pat Spurgeon (Rogue Wave) completing the line-up, Pancho-san commenced with their first U.S. tour in 2010, and they have more touring and recording planned for 2011. The album is available at; http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/oh-mellow-melody/id355904457 <<<<<<<<<<< Pancho-san has played shows with... the Papercuts, Admiral Radley, The Fresh and Onlys, Exray's, Two Gallants, Still Flyin', Grand Lake, Man/Miracle, Nyles Lannon, Meric Long (The Dodos), The Mumlers, The Black Swans, Broken Records, and Miles Kurosky (of Beulah)… .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....Please add us on Facebook.... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pancho-san/195048407947 PRESS/REVIEWS: "There's a jaunty, jangly spirit to Pancho-san. A dash of the Beatles, a pinch of the Libertines, a smidge of Arcade Fire, all adding up to their own sound. I only mention these other bands as a frame of reference for the elements within the Pancho-san stew. They don't really sound like any of those bands, but they do have these bits and pieces that reference their work. They could be in a Canadian collective with those bands. But then, true to the name, there's a bit of a Spanish flair thrown in, which is both welcome and surprising. They don't play Spanish songs but instead sprinkle some of the spice and flavor. If this band were a Tapas dish I would order two: one to share and one to keep to myself." (www.gloriousnoise.com/shorties/2010/cool_band_panchosan.php) "...a penchant for the harmonies and understated rhythms of early Brit folk, and also reminiscent at times of the less hokier side of Simon & Garfunkel."
