THE WILD PANTHERS orchestrates its performances to the sounds of old and new classics of Pop / Rock music. Our performances always take the form of musical appearances with extreme rhythms and volumes. Quirky reinterpretations of songs ranging from Depeche Mode to The Prodigy, The Beastie Boys or Britney Spears. In 2014, THE WILD PANTHERS took over in full a piece by Khan of Finland “Disko Nazi”, an experience which led us to work with professional musicians and create our own cover for the first time. An atmosphere where the cries of the forest mingle with the fetishized sounds of uncontrolled orgasms, in a resolutely Camp Dark perspective, playing on all stereotypes. Transforming Pop music into Metal music, with the sounds of distorted electric guitars, for a frenzied communion with an accomplice public.
