Stylish Nonsense (Panda Records)
is recently Electric / Acoustic Whatever Duo, in between post-punk and electric vintage funk with unpredictable fresh raw energy. Their music alters. Every Live sessions happen to be extremly fluid and unique.

History
In 1993, while studying at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (Thailand), Yuttana Kalambaheti and Wannarit Pongprayoon met at the Music Club of the Electrical Engineering Department. They have been creating music together ever since.

Starting out on a 386dx computer with a Blaster16 soundcard, and the software Cakewalk 2.0, they have over the years evolved into a highly regarded band that makes each gig unique, since they rely solely on the art of improvisation.

Story...

They've start making music in 1993. In the beginning were dig sequencing on cakewalk 2.0 software that june's brother put on his personal computer model 386dx with sound blaster16 card inside, for his young music mania brother. then june just share to his university's friend, pok who he met at music club of electrical engineering department, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang when they were freshy (2537 buddhist year). The "fm syhthesis" sound of sound blaster card and how cakewalk's sequencing influence to june to compose music in various style by his imagination. Plenty of songs were saved on june's hard drive and floppy disks and just keep close on his desk...

"Stylish Nonsense" are from dictionary when the time was up but must have a band name, the name that would not strictly control music style, they prefer stylish songs in many many style and also get some philosophy from the things which someone assume it's nonsense.
