The Waiting Room.
It's been a while. Please take a number.
Live sessions, filmed & recorded live at The Panda Studios. 2010–2017. And again.
The wall · Vol. I · 2010–2017
One room.
Played live.
From 2010 to 2017, bands loaded into one room in Fremont, set up, and played it live. Sam Pura on the board. Evan Henkel, Armando Armas and crew behind the cameras. It went up on YouTube as The Waiting Room, and you watched it 5.6 million times.
The Story So Far. Title Fight. Citizen. Seahaven. Touché Amoré. Man Overboard. Polar Bear Club. Balance and Composure. Some of you found your favorite band here.
The Waiting Room captured the perfect moment in time for the bands, and helped form their identities.
Filmed & recorded live at The Panda StudiosSome bands broke up. Some got huge. The room stayed.
“If we don’t get paid for it, we still want to do cool shit.”
Day One was March 27, 2010, streamed live out of the live room. The last session went up in March 2017. The Waiting Room helped make The Panda Studios what it is today.
Then we went quiet.
So we're turning the lights back on. Same room. Longer sessions: the performance, and the story around it, built out in post.
Coming home. Just sharper.
