Tav was nowhere to be found at the beginning of the set. That was lucky for the audience as the Panther burns treated us to a fantastic instrumental set until Tav showed up. Once he made his way to the stage Tav put on a great performance and was as great a showman as ever.
Fuzzy Cactus was the perfect venue for the band. Great old school rock and roll vibe and some deep cuts being spun by "Area Woman".

Tav Falco's Panther Burns Biography
Raised in rural Arkansas, Tav Falco embarked on his long and distinguished musical career upon arriving in Memphis in the mid-1970s. Teaming up with local music legend Alex Chilton (The Box Tops/Big Star) in 1978, the duo formed the long-running and still active band Tav Falco’s Panther Burns. Panther Burns thrived on the early 1980s music circuit and were a popular draw at such storied NYC clubs as The Peppermint Lounge and Danceteria. Despite Chilton’s exit from the live lineup in 1984, Panther Burns carried on and the band’s current discography includes ten studio LPs and numerous EPs, live albums, and compilations.
Artists who have cited Panther Burns as an influence include the American alternative music acts Southern Culture on the Skids, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Jack Oblivian, and The Gories. In Europe, neo-psychedelic groups who have referenced Panther Burns include England's Spacemen 3; Germany's Cuban Rebel Girls (named after one of Falco's original songs); France's The Dum Dum Boys; Italy's Time Machine; and Scotland’s Primal Scream. Says Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie, “Tav has long been a hero/inspiration to Primal Scream. A true master of rock and roll and a cultural ditch digger on the same level as the Cramps. Thanks for all the great music, Tav.”
Equal parts primal rock ’n’ roll, hill country blues & avant-garde art, Tav Falco's Panther Burns aren't just music, but a state of mind.
Falco’s most recent release is 'Club Car Zodiac,' an EP released by ORG Music. The musical lineup that recorded the EP will appear on Falco's 2022 tour dates: musical director/producer/guitarist Mario Monterosso (Dale Watson, Red Mount Trio), bassist Giuseppe Sangirardi, and drummer Walter Brunetti.
