Death Sentence: Panda! is Paul Costuros, Chris Dixon and Kim West - a trio of San Franciscan noise deliquents, featuring members of Crack: We Are Rock, **** Murder Murder and Total Shutdown. They add a cartoonish sense of drama to the trad Bay Area post-punk sound, using nothing more than a flute, a pitchshifted clarinet, a drum kit and a whole lotta hollering. Their music draws heavily on traditional Chinese and Korean folk music, ragtime, New Orleans-style marching bands and good ol' hardcore punk.
