Born in captivity — with two black eyes, constantly threatened and tranquillised — PANDORRR realised that there must be more to life, that things didn't have to be so black and white. So, with a bamboo bobby pin, they escaped into the night on an expedition far and wide, to find an embarrassment of pandas living in the wild. But all the pandas were in hiding, surviving, in disguise. And the tumbleweeds just rolled on by... 

Panda head in panda paws and more alone than ever before, PANDORRR — about to give up hope, turn back for good — suddenly felt a deep rumbling underfoot. The whole valley shook and shuddered, birds aflutter, dust rising off the ground. Then from all around erupted a rich tapestry of sound, dripping down the mountains, skipping over streams, weaving together the lushest journey a panda could ever dream. 

It was then that PANDORRR fell in love. Not with some randy panda they had conjured up, but with the primal pulse and tribal tunes and bamboo beats that make you swoon. Thus, they began to blend and mix every mystic morsel, to force all the pandas out of the woodwork and onto the dancefloor — a chance for them to feast and stomp and sprawl, to be truly free once and for all… 

This is their mating call.

Biography
Polygasm are an all-singing, all-partying 4-piece rock band from inner Melbourne. Shunning the “too cool for school” rock thing, Polygasm are high energy, impossible to ignore, seasoned party-good-time performers and talented musicians to boot. Rock'n'roll antics, catchy melodies and stunningly delivered harmonies make for a smiling, singing and booty-shaking crowd.

Formed in 2010, the band met while studying a more serious side of music at NMIT, Fairfield. Sure, the technical features of jazz are interesting, but to Aaron, Shanti, Simon and Ralph, plugging it in, turning it up, and smashing it out was a far more exciting prospect. And so they did. Rock’n’roll is supposed to be fun. And fun it is with Polygasm.

Although all multi-instrumentalists, the line up comprises of “The Golden Tonsils” (Aaron Schultz – vocals), “The Noise Maker” (Simon Barlow – guitar), “The Lovely Lady of the Bottom End” (Shanti Amelia – bass) and “The Beats and Brawn” (Ralph Nottingham – drums). Combined with 4-part singing, it makes for an eclectic AC/DC meets B52's vibe. Throw in a decent dose of silliness and humour and you get a Polygasm show.

Polygasm members draw together their diversity of experience in the music scene. Shanti performs as a solo artist and drums with all-girl marching band The Red Brigade. Ralph has spent half a lifetime drumming his way through the Melbourne rock scene and moonlights as a jazz drummer on weeknights. Simon plays in noise-rock act Silence Dead Silence and has for the past decade written and performed for the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Aaron is a closet-crooner and hopes eventually to retire to Vegas to front a 25-piece swing band.

They all sing, they all rock, and they all have a good time doing it. Polygasm. They'll have you coming back again and again.
