Seri and Alan have left the Pang - which is terrible news.
Clockwise from top left: Rob Wellington, Vanessa Wawruszak, Adam Learner, Paul Keane and Andrew Duffield
BUT do not fret!. Drumming legend Paul Keane has been coaxed out of retirement and Andrew Duffiled of Models fame has joined us on keys! And to cap it off we have found an incredible new singer to fill Seri's shoes (a big job for anyone). Vanessa Wawruszak (pronounced Vavruszak) is very young but sounds like she has been singing for decades. (In fact she has, since she was 3, she was even in the Austraian Childrens Choir.)
We're all very excited and we're launching the new line up Saturday the 14th of August at the Great Britian Hotel in Church Street, Richmond (free). Don't miss the first show for the new Pang - history in the making! Check our gigs list for more shows booked already.
The last gig with the original line up worth mentioning was the Crystal Ballroom Reunion gig at Ding Dong - more than 200 Punk Rockers rom the late 70s and early 80s! It was a hoot. 2 bands from the era played - Little Murders and The Ears (featured in Dogs In Space). Lots of old friends turned up and the street was filled with people ctaching up and taking photos with each other. The cops turned up because they thought there were too many people in the venue! Luckily they were all insiode while we played. Thanks to the I Got Drunk At The Crystal Ballroom Facebook group - especially Dolores San Miguel, Darve Smith and Andrew Brookes.
Our clip for Stuck With This Heart is the first featured clip for the new videos section of FasterLouder Woo hoo!

The PANG = hook laden Rock + quirky, aggresive guitar + volcanic rhythm + the hypnotic Seri Vida's power vocals.
The PANG > Power Pop + Post Punk.
The PANG songs ≥ tales of "fucked up love". Just when you think you know what the song is about they spin 180 degrees and slam home with all the paradox and contradiction of truth.
We keep hearing people complain. "I can't get your song out of my head." and "I don't normally like this kind of music." Well get over it because we've got a whole set of infectious Pop Rock and no ethics about using it. World domination is simply a matter of time so you may as well just give in now and buy the single.
We couldn't wait. The Stuck With This Heart / All Banged Up single is now available from iTunes and Amazon. Have a listen at music/videos where there is links to the stores and FREE MP3s to download.
