Pan Astral will play a special benefit concert June 1st at Globe Hall in Denver, featuring Luke Miller of Lotus, and Johnny 5 & Brer Rabbit of Flobots! The special guests will be sitting in with Pan Astral for a one-of-a-kind show to benefit the New Hinterland Art Space, a longtime friend of Pan Astral and mainstay in the Denver arts scene. Tickets are on sale now HERE!

As Denver's River North Arts District ("RiNo") has experienced a huge growth spurt in recent years, many of its beloved art galleries have been priced out, making way for large developers to move in. The irony is that many of us move to RiNo for the very culture these now forgotten institutions had to offer. Hinterland was one such place. By offering a unique environment for avant garde and installation artists whose work was often not for sale, this gallery freely gave their time and resources to our burgeoning art scene. We believe it's time for us to give back as they regroup and rebuild. 

We are excited to announce this we-have-your-back fundraiser party for what will be the "New Hinterland Art Space". Lotus' Luke Miller will be sitting in with Pan Astral, and the band will also be joined by surprise guests to be named very soon. Please join us in supporting our precious local artists on 6/1 at Globe Hall - Get your tickets here!

We're back in Denver and firing on all cylinders Saturday 2/3 with a newly designed, immersive audio-visual experience. Our friends, Denver light installation artists, Knomadcolab, will deck the venue (Lost Lake Lounge) in handmade light sculptures to bring a uniquely tailored visual experience for this night only. Psych-rock band, Ghostpulse, opens the evening and DJ Lubejob closes it out.

Gabe was interviewed by The Love Story, and goes deep discussing pain, catharsis, and getting to the heart of truth. Watch in the video below: 

We were honored to take part in OpenAir CPR's radio broadcast "Dearly Departed 2017" - Colorado artists paying tribute to the influential artists who passed away this year. We recorded our own take on "Vitamin C" by the late-great CAN, whose Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay both passed this year. CAN is a dear influence to us, and we had a blast making this recording. Stream below, and enjoy!

We're hard at work in Turquoise Studio on the new record, and are thrilled with the new music. Stay tuned, as we'll be announcing details on release, shows and more soon. 

Gabe appears as featured vocalist in the new DVD Lotus: Live at Red Rocks, September 19, 2014 - now available. The concert movie captures Lotus' "Talking Heads Deconstructed" show with Gabe channeling David Byrne. Check out the trailer below and pick up your copy here.

Gabe was interviewed on the Ultra5280 podcast "Behind the Scene" to discuss music, art, and the creative process with Pan Astral, Lotus, and Flobots. Listen below!

As we work on the new album, so much of the creative process comes from diving into the music that is inspiring us right now. So we've created a new ongoing playlist series on Spotify, "The Pan Astral Playlist" to showcase music we're digging, that is informing the new music we're recording. We'll be updating it regularly, so it will continue to evolve, just as the music does. Follow on Spotify, share, enjoy and let us know what you think!

We recently visited Colorado Public Radio's OpenAir to perform a few songs and talk music. Click the image below to hear the full session!

We're heading back into Turquoise Studio to continue work on the new album! The music has been taking really intriguing and exciting new directions and we're covering some territory that we never have before. Check back here for updates on release, tour dates and more, and sign up for our mailing list above to stay in touch.

Gabriel's singing is featured on Lotus' new live album 86 Revolutions. Gabriel channels his David Byrne on the Talking Heads cover "Moon Rocks." Give it a listen!

NOENEMIES, by our good friends and Colorado musical compatriots, Flobots - released today! Gabriel produced the record, wrote many of the songs, played bass & keyboards, sang, and wrote string & horn arrangements, and Tad played all the guitar on the record. Plus, it features Flobots' unique & incredible take on our song "Related." NOENEMIES is now available everywhere online, so go check it out and support the musicians!

Our remake of David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans" marks our first release since our 2016 album "Suburban Blues." Originally recorded to commemorate the late David Bowie for CPR OpenAir's "Dearly Departed 2016" radio program. Now available for download at panastral.bandcamp.com.
