12 Days of Panic Bomber

I've said a thousand fantastic things about Panic Bomber, and certainly could say a thousand more, but I'll let someone else do the praising and the press for the time being:

Miami, Florida - December 1, 2009 - PANIC BOMBER's Getting on My Mind LP will be released December 15 as part of the 12 Days of Panic Bomber campaign. Getting on My Mind is 8 new songs plus 4 remixes of the title track, including a version by Takeshi Muto, one half of the influential IDM duo Phoenecia. Notable tracks from the album include, Getting on My Mind, Keep Ignoring, A Giant Tortoise and Bang on the Walls. The December 15th release date will be preceded by a marketing campaign titled, "12 Days of Panic Bomber," running from December 4 - 15. The campaign will facilitate fan interaction in the lead up to the physical release. Each day will include the release of a new piece of Panic Bomber media as well as giveaways to fans that join the fan club on panicbomber.com. On the tenth day, Saturday December 12th, the famed White Room in Miami will hold the record’s official release party, promoted by the heavy hitting combination of Overthrow, Embrace, and Sweat Records, the show will feature The Panic Bomber performing live with a full horn section, dancers and other special guests. Tickets for show will be available at wanttickets.com/embrace. Panicbomber.com, Sweat, and Radio Active Records will begin selling physical copies on December 15th, the final day of the "12 Days" campaign.


Robothands.com, a video production company from NYC, is currently filming a video for the dance edit of the single, "Getting on My Mind." Live footage of Panic Bomber, both solo and with a live band, can be found at panicbomber.com/video.

About Panic Bomber



"The music he makes, regardless of the reasoning behind it, is slick and dance-friendly. It works up to a funky electro-house groove that's rough enough around the edges to belie its creator's rock roots." -Miami New Times



"His performances takes the crowd to an all-new high.. the music is extremely well produced and executed on the stage.

-Cool Junkie



"This American based in Miami defeats, with disconcerting ease, an electro-pop and housey cocktail sung with strange ravey twists of direction..deceptively innocent and terribly engaging."

-Trax Magazine



"He manages to mix electro, house, and techno with touches of pop and concocted a great formula. Familiar, but with a touch of new-ness that makes it fresh to the ears.

-Off the Radar



Miami's fastest rising dance floor innovator is taking this volatile electronic scene by storm, and his forthcoming CD is primed to further the frenzy. Panic Bomber is the brainchild of Richard Haig, a Music Engineering Technology graduate from the University of Miami. Panic Bomber's debut EP dropped in 2009. It garnered press affection from heavy hitters like France's Trax Magazine, which included him on their monthly sampler, was licensed by NBC, and it earned him Miami New Times' coveted title, Best New Electronica Artist of 2009. In the wake of this success, Panic Bomber took his combination of live vocals and synths with house, indie, techno, electro, and break to various corners of the globe. His sold out shows in London and Glasgow have extended his reputation across the pond. Here in the States, Panic Bomber's strong association with tastemakers like Sweat Records and groups like Miami's own Awesome New Republic have the electronic scene buzzing.

Killer Tunes & a Quaint Locale

Saturday night Panic Bomber & Awesome New Republic played a Warehouse party in North Miami and threw down hard. I sweat so hard I could barely see by the end of the evening which was well worth it


Wasn't sure if I looked like a candy cane or a barber's pole...supposedly I looked like a "hot candy striper"

The peeps from The Poem Depot enlightened us all and wrote a piece inspired by how "I am a poem..."


Panic Bomber blowing people's minds and eardrums...


2/3's of ANR...So I guess they're the Awesome and the New

Iggy Pop SWEATS it out with ANR


So it turns out that on Saturday, August 22nd Sweat Records will be throwing a little shindig at Awarehouse in Wynwood, to celebrate the release of some rad Iggy Pop shirts, & he'll supposedly be there as the guest of honor. & there'll be performances by Awesome New Republic and The Jacuzzi Boys, DJs galore, live painting by Francesco LoCastro and a bunch of other good stuff. All the details can be found at Sweat's blog.

Hear ye hear ye!

ANR plays tonight for a good cause, it's a free event but all donations will be going to be art supplies for inner city kids since the budgets were completely slashed. They'll be playing form 8-10 with "The State Of." & then the party continues/charity event officially starts at The Vagabond where Junc Ops will dazzle us with their brilliance, along with the likes of Afrobeta and other great local acts.

Attention People of Earth!


Awesome New Republic's Rational Geographic Volume 2 is now available for download at their site, or you can pick up a physical copy at Miami's only independent record store Sweat Records . I've praised this pair before, but now that legit music mediators are also singing along and singing ANR's praises I can go all out and share, what most of you already know is that I am crazy in love with ANR's music. MJ's voice soothes my soul in a way even I don't understand, but what ultimately ties it together are the incredible & astonishing yet oh so subtle skills of B Rob pm keyboards. The addition of Jorge Rubiera (of the delightful & twangy Down Home Southernaires & THE best drummer in town) fuses the abilities of all these talented gentleman in a glorious and symbiotic fashion. I absolutely love & respect what these guys are able to do musically. While their tunes are sometimes reminiscent of other dance giants (Prince & Hot Chip,) their music is always undeniably original, fun, poignant, profound & most importantly very,very danceable.
There's sooooooooo much more I could add, but I'll save that for when Rational Geographic Volume 3 comes out in October. Til then I'll just keep on telling everyone and anyone I encounter to check them out.

The best damn band in town...

by far is Awesome New Republic, and I'm not the only person who thinks so. I've been utterly in love with their music since the I randomly caught them at The University of Miami's mini music festival Canefest in 2005. They've moved out of town and returned, changed their lineup and & played almost every venue of note in this town, but their sound has remained the same, and undeniable amazing, so check out & enjoy their video for "Digital World."





quite possibly one of the best bands in the country they just don't have

Proof that I have friends outside of the digital realm...

Just found this photo of me and Case from Joauin Phoenix 'performed' at LIV, felt like sharing since we whooped it up again at the Florida Room for ANR on Thursday Night. I can't remember the last time I found myself on the beach, but have ended up there (and probably will again during WMC) with this cool cat, I haven't seen in almost a decade. I guess the Beach does bring people together.
