Those dirty bitches...

On the heels of their critically acclaimed album, released late 2003, PAN AM announce an 11 date nation-wide tour extravaganza of sight and sound. All through the music month of May the band will visit the main centres in both islands and a few of the more far flung bastions of rock 'n roll in our fair land – Barrytown and Raglan are two typical west coast examples.

The band also announce a new four-piece line-up that sees Rob 'Wyman' Collins of b-net fame take over bass duties from Jarrod Ross, and the inclusion of long time musical collaborator Jared Kahi on second guitar and backing vocals. Cole Goodley (drums) and Paul Barrett (vocals/guitar) remain essentially unchanged, although rumoured to be behaving badly.

An Australian release of PAN AM's self titled debut album will see the band relocating to Melbourne after their NZ tour.

Feel the fervour, hear the new songs, pash someone in the audience. Catch the most highly rated kiwi recording artists as judged in the New Zealand Herald's top 30 for 2003. You have to see this band now.

New Bassist for PanAm

RDU Promotions manager Rob Collins is leaving at the end of March to join Auckland rockers PanAm.

In Rob’s own words: "After two rewarding years in the bNet, I'm leaving RDU at the end of March for Auckland and beyond... because I've been asked to take up bass guitar duties with PanAm! It's time for me to go live the dream. You know, the one where you leave town with guitar case in one hand, suitcase in the other and only the rich prospects of the musicians wage and free cds to sustain yourself...
But Rob won’t be leaving without a fuss. There’ll be drinks and a gig at the Wunderbar on the 27th where he’ll play one more gig with Slipstream.

The new Rob-infused Pan Am will then hit the road for a nationwide tour before taking off to base themselves in Melbourne for an assault on Australia.

Pan Am off to SXSW

The Datsuns, The D4 and Pan Am have been confirmed as acts at next year's prestigious South by Southwest festival in the in Austin, Texas.

It'll be a return visit for the D4 and Datsuns (they both appeared at last year's event), and they seem to created something of a bridgehead for a major kiwi invasion, as it would appear up to 19 New Zealand bands have applied for spots at this year's showcase.

Final lineups are due to be announced as the showcase directors work their way through the submissions from around the world. Keep up to date with SXSW developments at http://www.sxsw.com/
