Live & Loud at The Badlander: Panther Car, Cosmic Sans, Rob Travolta

Doors @ 9:00 pm

Panther Car:
“Based in Bozeman, Panther Car is a four piece band consisting of Connor Smith, Chrys Kirkwood, Scott Merenz and Andrew Cornell. Together, they craft a distinctive amalgamation of psych, dream pop and grunge—producing a sound that manages to be both meditative and immediate. Therefore, whereas most acts working in these genres lean towards either a warm and enveloping ethereality or a brooding cascade of noise, Panther Car manage to straddle the entire spectrum, often within a single song, all invention and playfulness balanced by a mean, serious streak that anchors you in the moment.”
-Jon Doyle, Variou Small Flames

Cosmic Sans:
From the ashes of a renaissance of garage rock and psychedelia ravaged by a global pandemic, a new contender emerged from the small but robust Missoula DIY music scene: a one Cosmic Sans. Cosmic Sans consists of a multi-instrumentalist music teacher holding down the low end, an underground hip-hop producer splaying syncopated rhythms behind the kit, a contemporary folk enthusiast Alaskan fingerpicking unintelligible noise, a chicken-pickin’ Montana boy playing modal jazz boomer-rock riffs, and a wannabe punk waxing poetically through a microphone. We emerged not from a place of want, but from a place of necessity in a community with a dearth of fresh musical blood. Cosmic Sans weaves their collective inspirations through a fine line in a way that can only be described as… Cosmic.

Rob Travolta:
Rob Travolta is a instrumental post-rock outfit out of Missoula MT. Rob Cave (bass) Cole Bronson (drums) create dynamic textural songs built off of melodic bass compositions.
