Pankow
Never Trust A White Man (black)
Pankow, often written in Cyrillic, is an electronic music act from Italy which formed in Florence in 1979. The band is considered as one of the most influential electronic acts from Italy. The band made its debut in 1982 with a split 7" with Diaframma entitled "Closed Circuit / Wither" with a line-up that featured Mario Massa on bass, Mauro Fasolo on drums, Sergio Pani on sax, Massimo Michelotti and Maurizio Fasolo on synthesizers and Valerio Viti on vocals. In this first phase the band was still far away sonically speaking from the sounds that would characterize it later on and drew its influences from darkwave acts like Joy Division.
