Puzzled Panther

Whether you call it psych dance punk or new grunge, one thing is true: NYC’s Puzzled Panther is generating a new wave of infectious blissed-out psychedelic mix of Madchester with the danceable frantic attack of New York post-punk revival.

Fronted by principal songwriting duo of Victoria Espinoza and Kay Bon Tempo and joined by Eugene Hutz on guitar and keys (Gogol Bordello), Brian Chase (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) on drums, and Rob Mellinger on bass, Puzzled Panther is rapidly making a name for itself as a tireless touring entity with their electrifying performances across the USA and Europe.

To date, Puzzled Panther has toured the US, Canada, Europe and the UK, supporting huge acts like Gogol Bordello and Dropkick Murphys. In July 2025, they released their second EP, Fits of Serenity, while they continue working on their first full-length LP as well as maintaining their touring schedule.
