Phat Panda Biography

Phat Panda

Share |

Genre:Funk, Jazz, Reggae

Phat Panda are a collective of like-minded groove enthusiasts that formed in early 2009.

Prior to formation, some of the members had gigged together at various functions playing jazz, funk, latin and reggae… pretty much anything that felt right at the time – an attitude which has remained as a major part of the spirit of Phat Panda.

This spirit can be felt on the band’s debut album “Paws for Reflection”, which was released in April 2010, and ranked number 44 in Three D Radio’s Top 101 for that year.

The band has enjoyed performing to audiences across Adelaide and surrounding suburbs at venues and festivals including the Civic Park Spectacular and Coopers Alive.

As to the name, it has nothing to do with the zoo animals that are confined and not free. It has everything to do with the fun loving nature of a band that plays Phat grooves.
