Two things: Can you replace in the text "LIIS RING" with "TAMAR NUGIS". Liis was in the band only in the beginning and was soon replaced with Tamar.

Songs for streaming. Are soundcloud files ok for sharing or embedding or i will have to send you the files?
Sure thing. Smile
For streaming, if you could PM me the files I can add them to your page.

Also, thread locked because band was added. Smile

Band biography:

X-Panda is a progressive metal and fusion band from Estonia. The band is known for their concerts full of emotion and power - pure pleasure for people who like to dream, imagine and feel.  The music of X-Panda will move both experienced musicians and just music lovers. Their creations are full of surprises and changes of mood, sounds, complex rhythmical characters, rhythmic illusions, jazz-fusion chord progressions, mean and evil guitar riffs and in all this one can also find heroic film music melodies that you can sing along to.
X-Panda tries to expand their musical horizon and knowledge by creating technically and musically more entertaining music for themselves in the first place. 
 
The band was founded as a one time project for an original song competition in april 2009.  They ended up winning the competition with a song "Dickybirds". The feedback for such unusual music approach was extremely positive, so they decided to continue as a band. X-Panda has won several competitions, including the title Noorteb�nd 2010, which is one of the two biggest band competitions held in Estonia. 

X-Panda released their debutalbum ��Flight of Fancy�� in september 2011 
                                                                                        
Kaarel Tamra about X-Panda:
 "I think that it is unusual that four people can share the same musical interests.
 It is so cool that sometimes  when beginning to describe a particular riff or pattern, they already know what to do without me even saying it. I find that really rare  and special. We have a really good chemistry and we are all such good friends. The band is like a summer holiday -everybody is anxiously waiting for the rehearsals and concerts. They�re just so much fun, because we can do exactly what we want!"

X-Panda lineup:

Kaarel Tamra � keyboards
Risto Virkhausen � guitars
Tamar Nugis � bass and vocals
