Genki Genki Panic

Chattanooga TN's own masked anti-heroes, Genki Genki Panic revel in reverb soaked instrumentals that reference the macabre with sardonic winks and nudges, and complex, inventive instrumentation. Their songs bridge the gap between the 80's surf punk of bands like Dead Kennedys and Agent Orange, classic 60's surf instrumentals of the Ventures and Dick Dale, and the metallic intensity of bands like Fantomas, Bad Brains, and Jesus Lizard. With a stage show that has been descibed as Gwar meets the Munsters, Genki Genki Panic has amassed an impressive following in their 8 year history, sharing the stage with such bands as The Messer Chups, The Independents, Peelander Z, The Queers, King Pelican, The Meteors, The Aqualads, and Daikaiju.
