ImageTrumansburg, NY - On Thursday, July 16th, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad performs at the GrassRoots Festival.  GPGDS will be releasing a new album titled LIVE UP in August.  The sextet played almost 200 shows last year, and recently had their touring van converted to run on waste vegetable oil.

GPGDS played 180 shows in 2008, including performances at Mountain Jam, and Wakarusa.  2007 highlights include a three-week stint in Jamaica, numerous national tours, and a concert at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC).  Thanks to their aggressive touring schedule and dynamic sound, Giant Panda has developed an extensive following.

Formed in 2004, this Rochester, New York-based group has made a name for themselves through hard work on the road.  GPGDS plays an eclectic blend of roots reggae, dub, and afrobeat; their impeccable musicianship and explosive live show have received widespread acclaim.

Giant Panda will be releasing a new album LIVE UP in August 2009.  Their 2006 debut Slow Down, is receiving regular airplay on Sirius and XM Radio.

Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad has shared the stage with reggae greats Toots And The Maytals, The Wailers, Lee Scratch Perry, Yellowman, Culture, The Meditations, Don Carlos, Morgan Heritage, Mad Professor, and Edi Fitzroy.  They've been joined on stage by members of Thievery Corporation, G. Love & Special Sauce, Brazilian Girls, and Umphrey's McGee.
