The band truly began to take shape when Danny Bengston joined on bass, Erik Jimenez on drums and later Cory Hanson on lead guitar. They began performing at CalArts and house parties in the Santa Clarita valley in 2008, soon venturing to house shows and DIY spaces throughout the West Coast. These initial grassroots tours were followed by shows at iconic LA venues such as The Echo, Echoplex, the Troubadour and The Roxy, as well as trips to Austin for SXSW. Their debut recording was 2010’s cassette-only “Jelly Jam," released by Seattle-based label Lost Sound Tapes. Their second album “Living Dummy" was co-released on LP in the summer of 2011 by Burger Records and The Smell’s label Olfactory. “Living Dummy" was followed up by the “Killer Dreams EP" in early 2012. Pangea have played shows with Wavves, The Black Lips, FIDLAR, Ty Segall, Mikal Cronin, King Kahn and the Shrines, Nobunny, Redd Kross, Guitar Wolf, The Strange Boys, and many more. Now signed to Harvest Records, together PANGEA will be releasing their 7-inch “Snakedog” this summer in anticipation of their full-length album.
