Last night (Thurs.) Giant Panda (from Rochester NY opening their west coast tour) cooked it up serious after an inspirational opening by high spirit flowing Upright DUB Orchestra (from Portland) set a righteous presence for the fortunate listeners. Mark and Jeremy represented Astoria. We saw Andy and Hannah from Hanna’s Field and they say a high bless to their fans out on the coast.Hanna’s Field played the Astoria Coffee House before their East Coast tour late last year. Upright Dub wants to come to Astoria and throw it down for the locals- Ma Barley would open it up with some local hard chant party.Listen to KMUN Fridays 8-10 for the Reggae music so… Lots of Panda music to be featured - Are You READY?www.coastradio.org
