"TPGK will whisk you back to being 13, and making a weed pipe out of a Mountain Dew can while college radio blares in the background which is the highest possible praise I can possibly give."

"Love the guitar tone on this short but sweet song from Trash Panda Go Kart! In less than a minute this duo had me singing along and bopping my head in a track conjured out of nowhere. It has snare rattle, it has call + response vox, my only gripe is I wish there was more of it!"

... annnnd I play LEAD BASS in improv-rock stoner-psych trio
|
BEYOND CAPTAIN ORCA!

Jack Endino... lead guitar
JP Lenon... lead drums

plus occasional guest-friends!

"BCO! display classic power-trio telepathy and sky-scraping interplay,
moving from peak to peak with a kind of muscular transcendence.
Very few bands in the Northwest are going as deep and long as these guys do."
