Life long friends DC Gonzalez and Jonnie Rockit formed Panzie in 2008. Both were born and raised in NYC’s Lower East Side. Gonzalez and Rockit both shared a passion for the underground music that downtown NYC was famous for. After playing in several bands together they decided to start a new project, one that could accommodate all of their varied influences which included;Motörhead , Rob Zombie and The Cult.
The driving principle was that it had to be hard hitting, heavy and dark. From this edict Panzie was born.
Panzie’s live show has become a not-to-be-missed event. Their over the top stage production and genre colliding sound of old school punk, metal, goth rock and industrial has all proven to be tasty recipe and has quickly re-established Panzie as one of the most exciting bands on the NYC hard rock scene.
