Ron Anderson took a year off from working with his New York avant-rock band PAK to do a couple of tours of Europe and the West Coast with The Molecules after their 2007 CD/DVD release “Friends”. Now he is back with PAK playing on bass, not guitar, and with a new line-up of musicians and a new set of music. Powerhouse drummer Keith Abrams is back with new member Tim Byrnes (Friendly Bears/Hazel Rah) ..boards. After a very successful concert in New York at John Zorn’s performance space The Stone they are writing new music, and touring cities of Northeast, (including, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston). PAK will start recording the new a CD in late August................................................................................................................................ Like Anderson’s past work with the Molecules back in the late 80’s/early 90’s, PAK explores equally manic sonic terrain, built on fractured, lightning fast time changes, Anderson’s wild, twisted yet melodic soloing and chaotic vocal accents. Although Anderson’s past releases have always exploded with energy and ideas, PAK is the first to fully actualize his musical vision with its pristine production values and compositional embellishments.

PAK has two CDs 100% Human Hair and Motel is working now on the third. PAK tour Europe in October and November of 2008.
