Panama Wedding is a indie pop and electronic rock four piece group originating from New York City, USA. The band consists of singer/songwriter Peter Kirk, guitarist Jared McCarthy, bassist Brett Spigelman and drummer Kenny Bernard.
Panama Wedding had their big break when Peter Kirk released their first single “All of the People” on Bandcamp. At age 11, Kirk had already been playing piano and learning how to record and mix sounds in his bedroom. He uploaded the song on the subway before going out for dinner and came home to missed calls from his manager with A&R people calling.
Peter spent a couple years as an electronic pop soloist before expanding. Later on in 2013, the band altogether reproduced and released a group version of the same song, “All of the People” which gained online popularity, broadening their profile. This got them to be signed by Glassnote Records.
They released their debut EP Parallel Play back in 2014 which charted on the Billboard Top Heatseekers! I recommend listening to “All of the People” and “Feels like Summer”. There are only four songs on this EP but all great for the summer because all the tracks are catchy and upbeat. It consists of songs that you can blast in your car or room as your summer anthem!
Panama Wedding are currently kicking off Game On with The Golden Pony this month and playing festivals like Firefly Music! Their links are below.
