Panchiko, coming to the Beachland on June 3, returns with new music after 20-year hiatus
. While the release of a new album from a British rock act isn’t necessarily newsworthy,is particularly intriguing because it comes more than 20 years after the group called it quits.The title track, the first single from, arrived in early March, and the band followed it with “Until I Know” later that month. A third single, “Portraits,” came out just this month.
“I don’t do Facebook much, but someone messaged me and asked if I was the lead singer,” says Owain Davies during a conference call with bassist Shaun Ferreday and keyboardist Andy Wright by his side as they sat in the back of their tour van at a San Francisco date.. “I thought that was odd because I know for a fact that that music was never put on the Internet. I didn’t know how someone knew about it and said [Panchiko] was a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.
“We were all in separate bands — me and Andy [Wright] were in band together, and Owain [Davis] was in a separate band,” says Ferreday. “We poached Owain [Davies] because the singer we had at the time wasn’t amazing. The band just amalgamated. We were all about 15 years old.” At that point, the group started recording demos. The guys saved up all their gig money to do a studio recording, but they didn’t like the end result, so they began recording at home. They cut two EPs at their home studio, which they sent to A&R reps at various labels.
