Biography
Panama Gold is a rock n' roll quartet based in Seattle, WA. Their collective sound celebrates the highs and lows of 60's garage rock and late 70's post-punk with the vocal delivery and soul of early Rolling Stones, Doors and Stax recordings. Panama Gold's high energy sentiment, songwriting and stage show are equally rooted in the moment. And what a moment it's been: In less than a year, Panama Gold went from an idea of songwriter Damien Goyenechea, to forming their own Madqap label, releasing several singles, an eponymously named EP and playing dozens of well-received shows at Northwest venues such as The Sunset Tavern, High Dive, Slims, and Hell's Kitchen. Panama Gold has begun to cement their notoriety around the Seattle music scene; if the past is any indication, the months to follow will be equally fleeting. An EP is slated for release in June 2011 preceding a West Coast summer tour.
