Concert Review: Together Pangea Mosh Through Feelings At Elsewhere
It always amazes me how some people’s euphoria is another person’s nightmare. I was, immediately, forewarned by a friend that Together Pangea go wild. I thought, “Not that wild!” My presumption was because their new music is more “synthy,” perhaps, there would be a light shove or a cool sway. What I found was my living nightmare…. a mosh pit. (LOL!)
It happens every time. I never enjoy a mosh pit, but, at Elsewhere, Together Pangea ignited moshing and making out to my sociological awe. I saw people bashing and smashing into each other, and then pulling their lover to the side to go into a full-on kiss session. The scene was pure energy built on the tension and lust that lie between people. Sex and violence, forever, will fascinate and define humanity, of which Together Pangea have rooted their music on the varying ways we touch each other in soul and body.
Together Pangea – “Dispassionate” (Official Music Video)
When someone hurts your feelings, you throw a door or a punch. When someone makes you feel beautiful, you give a hug or a kiss. Simple! Tracks like “Money On It,” “Sick S**t,” and “Love And Alcohol,” bound together the passion and discontent of humanity in both chord and verses. To their fans, Together Pangea are the songwriters of the century, and I could see why. They, brilliantly, match how we want to scold the world and hold it, all at once. How we dream of telling people off about how truly stupid they are, while salivating for someone to give us wise guidance and empowering love. Living life is, literally, embodied by their mosh pits: people smiling, laughing, and pushing each other across the room.

Together Pangea approach an audience like puppeteers; stringing viewers with wry, raw guitar power. They love it, and what is not to love. Who would not want to have people’s adrenalized frustration and potent passion pushed according to their voice. I would feel like a goddess if one vocal note, from me, made a person decide to climb and surf over people’s heads. WHAT! Hence, lead singer Will Keegan comes off powerful, with Danny Bengston, Erik Jimenez, and Roland Cosio backing him, they appear like the Four Horses of The Soundpocalypse. They breathe a cool invincibility that their viewers tap into, and makes their show cathartic, freeing, and, yes, moshing. For More Information On Together Pangea Click Here.
