The Bad Pandas at The Red Lion, Stodmarsh

Based in Maidstone in Kent, Bad Pandas are a high-energy 5-piece playing uplifting pop-rock covers. Originally formed in 2013, the band honed their craft packing out pubs and festivals across Kent and the south east, quickly garnering a reputation for their jubilant party atmosphere and professional attitude that they bring to every event.

The current line-up features lead singer Carly who along with powerhouse vocals, provides a charismatic and warm rapport that makes audiences feel included and involved from the outset of every gig. Guitarist Josh is the shredding king, shifting seamlessly from melodic pop riffs to face-melting guitar solos while Matt's mastery on the keys allows the band to switch from synth-pop singalongs to piano rock ballads. In the rhythm section, founding members Chris and Jon are the heartbeat of the Bad Pandas, with bassist Jon giving the band its groove and drummer Chris keeping everyone in check and energy levels at a high.

Together these highly-proficient musicians offer a dynamic presence and brilliantly tight sound that delivers a lively celebratory atmosphere. From electrifying renditions of '80s rock anthems to contemporary pop hits, the band's strength is in it's ability to effortlessly transition between eras and styles in a way that keeps everyone dancing the whole night long.
