Pan.a.ce.a - Radio Play, Video Shoot, Acoustic EP, Show Highlights

June 4, 2010

 

Pan.a.ce.a radio play increasing

Video shoot & acoustic EP planned

Upcoming show with Jimmie's Chicken Shack

Harrisburg, PA June 3, 2010 – Radio play for Pan.a.ce.a gets a big boost this week with an add on Reading, PA's powerhouse station, WRFY - Rock Hits Y102. This follows the band's wildly successful appearance opening for The Badlees at The Works in Wyomissing over the weekend, which was promoted by the station. Y102 is ranked #1 in the market with ratings of 3 to 4 times that of their nearest competitor (non-country or talk), and a big signal that takes them into the Philadelphia market where they have as many listeners as in their home area.

The current single is the "We the Broken," the title track from the band's new album. WRFY now leads the growing list of radio stations with big coverage areas spinning this song in regular rotation, including WQKX & WFYY in Sunbury and WZXR in Williamsport. Airplay also continues with specialty shows and/or spikes on WDMT (Wilkes-Barre), WZZO (Allentown) and WQXA (Harrisburg), to name a few.

Plans now call for expanding promotion to radio outside of central-PA. More details will be announced soon. Until then, any radio stations needing the album or the single edit should contact Terry Selders at tls@susent.com or 814-784-3270.

Live footage for Pan.a.ce.a's first video will be shot on July 30th in Milton, PA at a club called Big Andy's. Digital Video Productions will bring in their camera crane and other top-of-the-line equipment, and the band will perform "We the Broken" more than once during the regular show. DVP is known for their editing, so having extra footage and multiple camera angles will give them a lot to work with when putting the final video together.

Pan.a.ce.a is currently in the middle of a contest to choose what songs will be included on a new acoustic EP.  Each week, fans are given a list of six existing Pan.a.ce.a originals via email, Myspace and Facebook.  People can then reply with their choice for which song they would most like to hear on the new recording.  The final CD will include five tunes picked by the fans and one chosen by the band, plus a brand new never before recorded song.

Upcoming shows include an opening spot with national act Jimmie's Chicken Shack on June 18th. The performance takes place at Eleanor Rigby's in Jermyn, PA and is all ages. On July 10th, the band will headline the "Brass Bash" which happens outside of the Brass Key in Sunbury. The next month, on August 13th, Pan.a.ce.a is the featured band on the opening day of the Rod & Custom Cruise-In at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds.

With the next phase of promotion kicking in, more shows, in-stores, radio info, promotional tie-ins and other activities will be announced in the coming months.

Pan.a.ce.a is managed by Terry Selders of Susquehanna Entertainment and Larry Mazer of Entertainment Services. For more information, contact Terry at 814-784-3270 (home office) or tls@susent.com.
