Trash Panda with The Ocho

Trash Panda

Trash Panda began in 2015 as the pet recording project of songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Patrick Taylor (AKA Lazuli Vane), expanding into a duo then a trio in 2016. Songs emerged from the rubbish heap of life's disappointments even as raccoons swarmed the neighborhood, one giving the band its name and the other flowering into redemptive tracks that have gained a reputation for lifting spirits the world over. Pulling from influences as wide as neopsychedelia, soul, indie rock and pop music, the band considers themselves somewhat post-genre. Taking a fully DIY approach and choosing to record at fully at home has given the group the freedom to explore and experiment, leading to a truly unique sound. Their 2016 EP Off features crowd-favorites “Aging Out of the 20th Century,” “Off,” and “Check Please.” Trash Panda’s 2018 album The Starclimber made a splash with tongue-in-cheek banger “Atlanta Girls” and the psychedelic groove of “Heartbreak Pulsar.”After the album the band went on hiatus and pursued other projects, emerging four years later in 2022 with several new members, releasing four singles “Things Will Never Change,” “Doin' Fine Today,”“STARHEART,” and “Made of Love,” which immediately made a buzz, featured on more than 10 of Spotify's editorial playlists. “Doin' Fine Today” has seen radio play in France. May 2023 brought PANDAMONIUM!, the band's second full length record, along with several national tours through spring 2024. In Trash Panda's first wave, only two years of frenzied creativity, the band made a regional splash touring small and mid-sized venues. Then, during its four year hiatus, the band reached a certain level of worldwide cult status with passionate fans spanning the globe. Now fans eagerly anticipate the group's third full length album, currently taking shape and slated to release in 2025.
