their concerts full of emotion and power - pure pleasure for people who like to dream, imagine and feel. The music of X-Panda will move both
experienced musicians and just music lovers, because it is full of surprises and mood changes, sounds, complex rhythms, rhythmic

X-Panda is a progressive rock and fusion band from Estonia. The band is known for
their concerts full of emotion and power - pure pleasure for people who like to dream, imagine and feel. The music of X-Panda will move both
experienced musicians and just music lovers, because it is full of surprises and mood changes, sounds, complex rhythms, rhythmic
illusions, jazz fusion chord progressions and passages, heavy or cruel guitar riffs and all that altered with heroic film music theme-like
melodies that one can sing along.
X-Panda tries to expand their musical horizon and knowledge by creating technically and musically more entertaining music for themselves
in the first place.
The band was founded as a one time project for a song competition in april 2009. Founding members were Kaarel Tamra, Risto Virkhausen,
Karl-Juhan Laanesaar and Liis Ring. They ended up winning the competition with a song “Linnukesed Siristavad”. The feedback for such
unusual music approach was extremely positive, so they decided to continue as a band. In August 2009, Tamar Nugis joined X-Panda,
replacing Liis Ring on bass.
X-Panda has won several competitions, including the title Noortebänd 2010, which is one of the two biggest band competitions held in
Estonia. In February 2011, X-Panda started recording their first music video. Currently, they are working on their debut album material,
which will be recorded in summer and released in autumn 2011.
