Hot Panda Changes Bass Players

Edmonton's Hot Panda announced a change in personnel today on their Myspace Blog:

"Today is the end of an era for us pandas. Sadly we had to part ways with our bass player Keith Olsen who left for personal reasons. He will be really truly missed by all of us.

However, today is also the start of a new era- Hot Panda is pleased, very pleased, actually, to welcome Catherine Hiltz into the fold- a new Panda! You may have seen Catherine playing trumpets with us at various shows around Canada- well, now she's our bass player!

The future is wide open!

until next time,
xHP"

The bands debut LP Volcano...Bloody Volcano was released in February of last year to rave reviews and my sources at Mint Records are telling me that the stuff they are prepping for the follow up is going to be even better. You might get a chance to hear some of it if you catch them at the Biltmore in Vancouver on December 4 or at Logan's in Victoria on December 5th.
