Panima's origins stem from the creative mind of singer/songwriter and
multi instrumentalist David Martinez. It was a cold December night in
2005 when Steven Delman got the phone call from David about jamming
together and starting a new band. After Panima's first rehearsal, the
guys recorded their first single, "Dreams," which started a Myspace
buzz that helped skyrocket their loyal fan base and online music
plays, which also attracted the attention of music attorney, Anita
Rivas (who has or does represent clients such as Kung Fu Records,
Hopeless Records, Fearless Records, Smartpunk, Kevin Lyman in
connection with WARPED Tour and Taste of Chaos and Anti Flag) who now
represents Panima.

Although the inspiration for Panima came from David and Steven's urge
to write music that was positive, uplifting, and catchy, Panima is now
a full-fledged band, with three additional members rounding out the
band, including a background vocalist, all of which were friends prior
to coming on board.

Within a little over one year, Panima managed to hit their 300,000
Myspace plays mark and acquire over 30,000 Myspace friends/fans.
Panima has also been hard at work, recording at Hollywood Sound with
producer/writer/arranger/manager, Roger Gisborne (who's worked with
Mark Needham [The Killers, The Academy Is, My Chemical Romance], Rich
Costey [Hot Hot Heat, Muse, Franz Ferdinand], Jeff Saltzman [Greenday,
The Sounds) and The Shys on Sire) and The Steakhouse with
engineer/mixer John Cranfield (Anti Flag, Queens of the Stoneage).

The band's long awaited 7 song EP, entitled, " " is due for release
in March and will be available through mail order, at shows and
online. The full length debut album is expected to be out before
WARPED and is close to completion. Consistent with Panima's commitment
to excellence, Panima shot two new beautiful broadcast quality music
videos for "Wake Up" and "Act of Change." Wake Up has received an
awesome online response and within 2 weeks the band attained
"semi-finalist" status, for being the best band of the week, on Music
Nation for Best Video, complete with quotes from Good Charlotte and
Howard Benson. Every judge on the panel voted for Panima and Music
Nation's label immediately contacted the band about a record deal with
their partner Epic Records. Panima's videos will be included in the LP
and the "Act of Change" video will be out in April, 2007 in support of
the album.

Many record labels, such as RCA, Capitol, Fearless, Hollywood,
Myspace, Immortal and Island have been hanging out and watching the
band's performances while continuing to keep in contact with the band.
Along with labels and fans, many recognized companies have picked up
an interest on the buzz the young musicians are stirring up. So far,
Panima has legitimately obtained endorsements from Orange Amps, RKS
Guitars, Encore Cases, DareDevil Energy Drinks, Empact Clothing, One
Serious Threat, and Battlefield Custom Drums. With endorsements like
these, and a recent $5,000 first-place prize at a Murrieta, CA Battle
of The Bands competition sponsored by Guitar Center and MTVU, it's not
hard to see that Panima is a dedicated band of musicians who seriously
love what they do.

Panima's busy lineup of performances includes dates and tours in
several Southern California counties and Arizona. The band has
headlined and played all the key clubs in the market including
__________, and have played to thousands of kids in high schools, teen
centers and coffeehouses across So Cal. The band has performed with
Saosin, Paramore, …….. and is scheduled on all of the Southern
California WARPED dates.
