Panchiko & Model/Actriz
June 3, 2025
History, Toronto, ON
Nottingham’s enigmatic band Panchiko brought their glitchy indie rock to a near sold-out crowd in Toronto, wrapping the audience in hazy nostalgia and a fog-drenched light show that matched their ethereal sound. Once a mystery, Panchiko has resurfaced with surprising momentum, blending lo-fi textures and haunting melodies that resonated deeply with longtime fans and new listeners alike. Their live presence felt both intimate and otherworldly, proving their cult status is well-earned.





Kicking off the night was Brooklyn’s Model/Actriz, delivering a dynamic, high-energy set that contrasted sharply yet perfectly with Panchiko’s moodier tones. Their danceable, synth-heavy grooves and magnetic stage presence jolted the crowd into motion, setting a high bar for the evening. Together, both bands created a memorable, emotionally charged night of experimental sound and unexpected connections.
