Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	TSR 008CD

Panico are contemporary Chilean, no-wave influenced rock, who are compared to Le Tigre, DFA, Les Georges Leningrad, and Chicks on Speed. This is their first

       available release outside of Chile, brought to the world via the almost mythical taste-making label, Tigersushi. An all-Chilean gang that used to haunt the streets of Santiago under the mystic gaze of the South-American sun, they have come a long way and together have been associated with more than ten major releases in their homeland of Chile. Now, after a bizarre chance encounter in a Parisian bookstore, they became full-fledged Tigersushi artists and are quite simply, ready to rock. A dashing collection of never before heard singles, Subliminal Kill puts together the best of European electronics.

       It kicks off with the mutant ESG meets Os Mutantes dub of "Que Pasa Wey," with maelstrom after maelstrom of noise, superb bass grooves, psychedelic mayhem, and serious rock-riffing. From "Transpiralo" -- blessed with the guest appearance of UK's Crazy Girl -- to "Anfetaminado", it is a mad cascade of pure Latin energy ("Lupita") and raucous ("Ice Cream"), abrasive ("Iguana") punk. This is as if Joey Ramone was born in Mexico only to discover Iggy Pop was his next door neighbor and that they could play in the same garage as Keith Moon. All you have to do is to "feel the sun burning your eyes" and let this roll on.

Title:	Anfetaminado
Label:	TIGERSUSHI (FRANCE)
Format:	7"
Price:	$7.50
Catalog #:	TSR 015EP

"Summer is not the time to feel melancholy and inward and that's exactly the take Chilean indie Behemoths Panico are taking with this fresh 7" release that showcases their talent for punk, noisy, tropical reverie, fantasy electronics and 'maximum destroy' rock 'n roll." Tracklisting: A: 'Anfetaminado' -- Walking down the street, the air is too cool, you can't take it, you want to eat life full blown, you wanna be on amphetamine. This is the feeling and the Panico take on chemical teenage kicks is one of classic punk rock lineage with a twist of south-hemisphere craziness that we all wish we had. B: 'Que Pasa Wey?' -- Rosie Perez fans revel, it's time to celebrate the foxy heroin of Perdita Durango -- the seminal Alex De la Iglesia feature -- with a sassy Latin-American dub like Joy Division under the sun. The typical solid Panico groove is distilled over some freestyle spoken words broidered over the movie's atmosphere."

Behave, you postpunkers! Panico is Chile's most renowned rock n' roll gang. Their novelty release, Subliminal Kill on Tigersushi have turned quite a few heads. A1: "Transpiralo" features Crazy Girl as guest supreme. This is a typical dancefloor track that meshes American sleaze, Latin attitude and the thrills of 25 years of garage rock meddling with 25 years of electro. A2: "Lupita (Zongamin Remix"' comes courtesy of celebrated Japanese expat and London scene weirdo Zongamin. A mix that bends the sci-fi exploits of the original and transposes you into a cool cartoon-like eeriness. B1: "Lupita (K.I.M. Remix)" -- this is a fucked-up mix replete with a fanfare of kitchen tools. Outer limits reached and trespassed.
