Every Night They Sleep In Empty Sanctuaries
2Here is a depressing morsel I dug up from the summer 2007 Panda Sanchez back-catalog section of a store that metaphorically resembles the iconic record shop in High Fidelity. Caveat: It moves like molasses and finds an inebriated version of me on vocals; a friend’s borrowed steel-string Washburn (thanks Vanessa); a condenser mic; a MicroKorg; the moody aftermath of David Fincher’s Zodiac; and GarageBand. So … yes … if left up to my own devices, I get totally emo (at least circa 2007).

Shameless Self-Promo: “2012 Pop Robot (Summer Mix)” by Panda Sanchez
As some of our readers may know, Panda Sanchez is the budding music project of In Harsh Light editor Richard Sanchez and writer/musician Tayne Kim. We’ve been hard at work crafting our dilettante, freshman EP to accompany our nosedive into DC’s live performance scene (see below for show dates). In particular, we’re opening for the up-and-coming metal/post-punk band Gracias, Pero No Gracias at the Velvet Lounge in DC on July 25th, 2012. Wish us luck — and, if God willing, attend, kick back with a beer (or five), and enjoy some local indie music.
Track Awareness: “Get To Know You” by Panda Sanchez
1If IHL readers ever needed any proof that Panda Sanchez (our “sound project”) are a couple of hopeless romantics, look no further than the embedded track below. This one’s told from the eyes of a moonstruck, albeit slightly narcissistic, 15-year-old.
