Philadelphia, United States (1991 – present)
Bardo Pond are an American psychedelic rock band from Philadelphia, formed in 1991, and who are currently signed to London based label Fire Records. The current members are Michael Gibbons (guitar), John Gibbons (guitar), Isobel Sollenberger (flute and vocals), Clint Takeda (bass guitar), Jason Kourkonis (drums), and Aaron Igler (synth/electronics). Bardo Pond’s drug-inspired music is often classified as space rock, acid rock, post-rock, shoegaze, noise or psychedelic rock. Many Bardo Pond album titles have been derived from the names of esoteric psychedelic substances.
Their sound has been likened to Pink Floyd, Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine.
Allmusic describes Bardo Pond as having “lengthy, deliberate sound explorations filled with all the hallmarks of modern-day space rock: droning guitars, thick distortion, feedback, reverb, and washes of white noise.” Bardo Pond are a taper-friendly band who encourage fans to make recordings of their shows.

An interview of BP in New Noise Magazine (french) this month (Mark Lanegan on the cover, as a double happiness). Among other things, they say Lapsed is the album which satisfies them the most. And On The Ellipse. New album soon seems.

Lapsed is my absolute favorite album of all time. Pond is so massive, they never fail to put a big stupid grin on my face.

Some lackluster singer that doesn't sound a think like Isobel Sollenberger.

They don't go only to UK, they also go to Spain, France, Portugal. They come to Europe and little by little I see that they are adding new shows. That means they are maybe waiting (or their management) for new deals.
