Pitchfork

The one-man incarnation of plinky Portland funksters Panther had bite, sure, but one guy ain't quite enough to give a Panther proper pounce. So Charlie Salas-Humara enlisted the help of former 31Knots drummer Joe Kelly and turned Panther into a two-piece just in time for 14kt God, the new duo's forthcoming LP and Kill Rock Stars debut. KRS will assist the Panther boys in dropping the golden God February 19. Not on their toes, we hope.

Care to catch a glimpse of the Panther in its natural habitat? Check 'em out on the road, where they'll spend a good chunk of the winter-- including a little time with that questionable lot in Why? and those puzzlers in Cryptacize.
