Panda was yet another great short-lived Dutch band that made some singles but no album. Even though they existed for a very short time, some notable names passed through the ranks. These included Emile den Tex (Tortilla, Turquoise, Electric Tear, solo), now a famous producer, Herman van Boeijen (Livin' Blues, Supersister, Vitesse), Rob Kruisman (Modesty Blaise, Bintangs, Brainbox, Ekseption), Ben de Bruijn (Cobra, Bintangs, Turquoise, Rob Hoeke) and Rob ten Bokum (Bintangs, Vitesse). Another was bassist Jaap van Eik, who has kindly agreed to take part in an interview about himself and Panda at aftersabbath.blogspot.com
