Pan De Sal

About Me


...a dance party for the worldly and socially conscious...

With inspiration taken from the far corners of the earth, a small group from Las Vegas has set out to unite the world’s sounds within their songs. Pan De Sal is a world-beat experimental pop band that formed in the winter of 2006 as a collective where different musicians from many genres can come together to create music not found anywhere else.
The core group – Sheila Hall (aka Orange Sheila ), Judi Brown (of Love Pentagon ), and Jeff Madlambayan (aka The Doodler ) – doesn’t hesitate to use whatever instruments they could get their hands on to contribute to their sound, whether it is a set of turntables, a bass guitar, synth pads, or a didgeridoo.
Pan De Sal’s live shows come with an energetic chaos that draws the audience in to their spontaneous onstage tactics, often giving out maracas, shakers, and other little noisemakers for onlookers to participate.
"You're never really sure if the band is serious. Even when you're confident they mean business, you still find yourself grooving to their fun-lovin' beats, thick instrumentation...and quirky lyrics. Imagine if England's world beat/hip-hop act M.I.A. actually taught a musical instruction course for middle schoolers in Southeast Asia, and you maybe sort of get the drift," noted Jarret Keene PhD of Las Vegas CityLife Magazine.
Their combination of textures, ambience, and schoolyard chants sculpts the band’s overall package. Their lyrics also integrate many different languages – French, Tagalog, and Portuguese – supporting the idea that music comes from one world despite conflicting political views between countries. The band also advocates a socially conscious agenda; instead of money in exchange for merchandise, they encourage fans to donate canned food and old clothing that can be delivered to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission or the Rape Crisis Center.

Also, as part of the Uno Momentum Sound Collective , Pan De Sal works with and supports other underground bands in the club that features experimental electro music. The Uno Momentum Sound Collective includes other west coast acts such as Ex-Dinosaur, Flaspar, Atole, and Love Pentagon.
