As many of you know, Chris Poage and TJ Berry of The Panda Conspiracy joined Blake for the recording of “Break Anotha” and may be making appearances with him in the near future. If you like elements of reggae, rock, and jazz all meshed together into an infectious sound with a positive message, you’ll love The Panda Conspiracy. Sample their music here, but I highly recommend purchasing their full-length album, “Lunar Migration,” from CD Baby or iTunes. You won’t regret it. I love it.
Panda was kind enough to grant us a written interview this summer, and I’ve been remiss in posting this feature. But the timing seems right now, so enjoy!
But first, here’s Blake jamming with Panda back in the day.
So, do we love myspace or what? Since we know some of Blake’s collaborators, and now know his band members, those who have added them as friends are getting fun bulletins and blogs from them as well. Below are a few that we’ve read today…
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m getting excited for December 4!!
Here’s a bulletin from Steph Jones, one of Blake’s collaborators:
