Pan Am Showcase New Line-Up

29th April 2004

Pan Am announce an 11 date nation-wide tour traversing the country throughout the music month of May. The band will visit the main centres in both islands and a few of the more far flung bastions of rock 'n roll – Barrytown and Raglan are two typical west coast examples.

The band also announce a new four-piece line-up that sees Rob 'Wyman' Collins of b-net fame take over bass duties from Jarrod Ross, and the inclusion of long time musical collaborator Jared Kahi on second guitar and backing vocals. Cole Goodley (drums) and Paul Barrett (vocals/guitar) remain essentially unchanged, although rumoured to be behaving badly.

Pictured from L- R are Rob, Jared, Paul and Cole.

An Australian release of Pan Am's self-titled debut album will see the band relocating to Melbourne after their NZ tour.
