No longer just the work of one Charles Salas-Humara, Panther has literally doubled in size. And no, he didn’t clone himself.

(Ugh, first day of this blog and already a mention of Multiplicity, things are going downhill fast. “A music blog? They’re all going to laugh at you!” That’s what my mean old mom said. Oh, I’ll show her. I’ll show you all!)

Now where was I? Oh yeah, Panther.
Last year Salas-Humara recruited Joe Kelly (former Merc contributor from way back when, and onetime drummer for 31knots, among others) to add some live drums to the Panther experience. Best thing he’s ever done.

Their latest, 14 kt. God (Kill Rock Stars), is a total blast, and will hit the store shelves on February 19th. Panther’s spastic and jittery dance tunes are fleshed out by Kelly’s work behind the kit, which was definitely evident by their scorching set this past weekend at the Children of the Revolution festival.
