PANARCHY means "everyone rules" I was very interested in politics and social change but wanted to get away from the same old, tired and unworkable ideas. It comes from a realization that no "system" is an answer. People either come up to a level of responsibility and honesty that doesn't require governments and laws, or stay hopelessly entrapped in the "Ideology A vs. Ideology B" game and ruled by despots.

For sure. This is my favorite element of music - I actually can't stand recording. We're here to play for others. Special moments come more and more as we get better.

It's way different. It's in our hands now, but it's not easy to shake off the old ideas ("we're gonna get signed and go on tour"). No, we're going to record good music and play places and make our own tour.

Sure, under the right terms and conditions. But after seeing what KANSAS went through it's pretty unlikely.

PANARCHY was started in the late 80's by friends Scott Gordon (keyboards/vocals/guitar), Steve Kessler (drums) and Daniel McBee (guitar/vocals), all D'ville High Sch Class of 82. They played mostly cover material during summers when Scott and Steve were home from ongoing U. studies. All worked around sizable time commitments - Daniel and Scott each a growing daughter to support. Little was devoted to original material until Scott as songwriter began recording tracks with Steve, then taking these session tapes with him of a dozen or so complete and forming songs. PANARCHY revives here as a vehicle for performing Scott's progressive rock material. This features the latest developing material as the band reforms for future performance.

KANSAS (Steve Walsh, Kerry Livgren), Todd Rundgren & Utopia, The Who (Pete Townsend), Styx (Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw), Alan Parsons Project, Pink Floyd, Genesis (Steve Hackett), Dan Fogelberg, Grateful Dead, and Editus (Costa Rica).

We'll have to talk that over - my bandmates aren't with me right now. (Scott) I love San Antonio, Chicago, Denver and New York as cities but I far prefer the mountains, beaches, organic farms and nature.

Powertracks, CARVIN, Yamaha, Casio (Scott Gordon)

"Thanks so much to my friends and bandmates - Marco, Brian, Amon, Daniel, Doug, Mark - but especially to Steve - I never would have made it this far and back without your continued support. We have one more chance at it this time and I intend to make good." (-Scott Gordon) "I use my songs and performances to lift people up for the cause of FREEDOM!!! - the most common and worthwhile cause in the history of mankind (it goes without saying that freedom without responsibility and justice is an empty dream indeed)" (-Scott Gordon) "My songs are real and based on real hardships and struggle, but I always try to point the way up and find a positive outcome or solution - moving as much as possible from reality back up to the DREAM of a better way of the artist - not the other way around" (-Scott Gordon)
