Panther on Kill Rock Stars, U.S. Tour with Architecture in Helsinki

Kill Rock Stars is extremely excited to announce our latest signing: Portland, OR's very own Panther. In the past few years, Panther has released 2 albums on Fryk Beat (http://www.frykbeat.com), made a half dozen amazing videos, started his own dance movement, toured with a bunch of well known bands (Ratatat, Gossip), and just generally been one of the most hard working and original bands out there.

Previously known only as Charlie Salas-Humara's id-fueled solo project, Panther is now a duo. Joe Kelly (formerly of 31Knots) joined forces with Charlie and is playing drums.

Panther just returned from a UK tour opening up for the wildly popular Gossip and they are just finishing up the final touches on their Kill Rock Stars debut. The new album is being mixed by Christina Files (Mary Timony, Shannon Wright) and will be out in late winter 2008. More details will be announced as they are available.

In the meantime they will be previewing their new songs and sounds opening up for Architecture in Helsinki in the U.S. starting on October 10th. Full dates are below.
