Forged out of fire and rising above, Beat Panther is not simply a band, but an art form. A form of art that is a fitting, beat-driven tribute to the love of house, hip hop, electronic, rock & roll and pornography. Beat Panther blends dance floor squalor with spaced-out keys, only to bring a glitchy climax to the stage with such full force, that Prince would blush.
Created by starving artists Rev (front man Justin Palicki) and JFeather (DJ/beat master extraordinaire), the duo came together out of necessity, three years after their ramshackle bands were touring together throughout the Southwestern US. With ghettotech savvy and experimental sensibilities, the two would bring their skills to the table to write “Burn Down the Disco;” a dark, dance-pop anthem about a girl too sexy for her own good, which would set the precedent for the new project. Replete with tales of bad girls and long nights, Beat Panther was born. Whereas artists have lofts in which to satisfy their urge to create, Beat Panther went into the studio immediately to write and track their cuts. With humble beginnings and naked ambition, they set out to conquer the universe one song at a time. Hungry and determined, Beat Panther continues to write, packing clubs along the coast and moving crowds with a sensually understated, charismatic hits. Gone savage for teenagers with automatic weapons and boundless love, the duo remains true to art. And if art truly kills artists, then Beat Panther is dead as f@#*.
