Frank Panduh (PAN + Duh) is an experimental electronic and indie-pop musician. He’s been making music since high school, starting out as Knarf in 2006, and adopted the name Frank Panduh in 2013. Originally from San Jose, CA, he moved to Patterson, CA after his parent’s divorce. While there, he turned his parent’s house into an all-ages DIY music venue called “Panduh Studios“, hosting nearly 50 shows, including the annual “Frankenfest” and “HellaPop” festival. National acts like Math the Band, Iji, and teamAWESOME! played there, and Neil Vento helped run the shows.
Frank also played drums in the indie rock band The Panduhs, touring with acts like Calvin Johnson and The Hive Dwellers. His music blends drum and bass, IDM, glitch, and experimental electronic textures, with hints of ambient, left-field beats, and psychedelic sounds and rhythms sprinkled throughout. Rooted in electronic music but never limited by genres, he crafts all of his sounds in Ableton Live and creates all 3D artwork with DAZ3D.
(No Gen-Ai for artwork or music!)

Other music projects include. The Panduhs is an indie rock band from Modesto, CA started by Neil Vento and myself in high school. We released our first EP on Halloween in 2012. During that time I had the rad opportunity to play drums and go on the road and play with a lot of cool bands. Like some amazing folks like Calvin Johnson (who also did a cool adlib on our last album). The Shivas, Math The Band, Sour Patch, Dandelion Massacre, The Hive Dwellers, IJI and many other great bands.

Here’s a video of The Panduhs playing in Ashland, OR. We played on a local access TV program called “Southern Oregon Songwriters Circle”. This was a fun experience on the road. Ashland, OR is also a rad city IMO.
