About

Chart-topping drum and bass band, Pendulum, formed in 2002 in the Western Australian city of Perth. The band's line-up comprised Rob Swire, Paul Harding and Gareth McGrillen. Swire and McGrillen are also known for their work as Electro House outfit, Knife Party. Other members include MC Ben Mount, Peredur ap Gwynedd on guitars and Kevin Sawka on drums. The founding members of Pendulum were inspired after hearing Messiah by Konflict at a nightclub, they decided to contribute to the drum and bass genre, and asked veteran drum and bass DJ, Paul Harding to join. 

Rapidly the group became known for their distinctive sound, which combines electronica and hard rock, and incorporates a range of diverse genres, many of which take influences from McGrillen and Swire's former stints in heavy metal band Xygen. Pendulum's first album, Hold Your Color came out in 2005 and become an instant classic in the drum and bass scene, with singles "Ulterior Motive" and "Spiral". The second album, In Silico, was released in 2008 and displayed more of their rock sensibilities. 

Mainstream success came with their single "Propane Nightmares". The third album, Immersion, released in 2010, and included singles "Ransom" and "Crush". Collaborations include Chuckie, deadmau5 and Tiesto, and the band have also remixed other band's tracks, including "Voodoo People" by The Prodigy, as well as putting their own spin on songs by Cold Play, Led Zeppelin and Calvin Harris. 

The band has played hundreds of shows worldwide, from Europe to North America and are always must-see attraction at music festivals. Currently Pendulum is busy writing new material, and whatever direction they choose to go in, fans will have something to look forward to.

    Pendulum was okay this time.

    by Kris6 on 2/23/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    Pendulum came to the Showbox Sodo in Seattle, playing a range of songs. About half of the songs were songs I didn't care for, leaving me feeling a little bored. The other half the songs were great. In general, the energy just wasn't as good as it was a couple years ago. Pendulum performed at the Showbox by the Pike Place Market a couple years ago, and the energy there was unbeatable. I was hoping for the same performance this time around, and I feel that it was lacking.

    INSANE!!!

    by den420 on 2/22/11Ogden Theatre - Denver

    I had buyers regret when I purchased this ticket. I liked Pendulum a lot, but was unsure about them live. The show was pretty early so we arrived ten minutes before the show. The lights were amazing and the band really brought the energy. This was one of the most memorable and energetic shows I have ever seen. My only complaint is that they didn't play a really long set. However I feel that they were truly gassed and had given the show everything they had. I will see this band every time they come to Colorado.

    Pendulum

    by tikischmidt on 2/22/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    Pendulum = GOD. Loved it, but the moshpit was a little rough and the stupid stoner girls next to me where smoking and It was annoying. My girlfriend and I loved it very much. You guys run a great establishment. Event parking was outrageous, and the huge parking lot across the street was free.

    Amazing Show

    by voidwarranty on 2/22/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    Title really says it all. This show was just that Amazing. The sound was great, the bar was great. I've read plenty of reviews about the Showbox SODO and have to disagree with the majority of them. The location was great, and did not let my expectations down. The building is a renovated warehouse set up near the shipping yards, that alone should tell any hardcore concert goer that the show they are about to see will be awesome. The SODO does not try to impress you with fancy seating, a full restaurant, or any other level of comfort. It is gritty, raw, and delivered an Amazing show to me. The music itself did not disappoint either. Pendulum was outstanding. For being their first west coast tour, I really hope they return. The sound was great, their overall stage performance was great, and those two together led to an amazing show. Their opener Innerpartysystem did not disappoint either. They too brought a ton of energy to the stage, and crowd, and really blew me away. I've listened to both bands for years now (Pendulum for 5yrs, Innerpartysystem for 2yrs) and must say these bands sound better live then they do recorded. I can't say anything else other then Amazing Night.

    Pendulum Killed It!!!

    by TtownCarGar on 2/22/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    This show was beyond Awesome!! So glad I didn't miss out! Was kind of nervous about it being at Showbox SODO, since shows I've gone to in the past have sounded terrible due to the acoustics. But I thought they sounded great!

    this was a great show

    by CoSine77 on 2/22/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    I took my kids to this show as they are big fans of pendulum. They did not dissapoint they are professional rock stars and try and make every show sound as good as possible. The crowd had quit a few bad apples but you can't blame the band for that. There was lack of response on the people running the venue but over all it was great!!!!! I would go see pendulum there or anyware for that matter.

    Pendulum (with Innerpartysystem) was a blast!

    by Nightfirecat on 2/22/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    The concert was a blast! Innerpartysystem led it with a crazy set of songs, and wonderful onstage mixing and lyrics to augment it. After they break down the set and clear out for Pendulum, they start off letting Immersion's Prelude start the set off, and set the mood for 90 minutes of energy-packed bouncing to beautifully performed Pendulum beats. Absolutely amazing to be there for, and I'd definitely do it again.

    absolutely amazing. I bought tickets for my boyfriend as a birthday gift and, even though its not my favorite genre, they put on an amazing show. The openers (Innerpartysystem) were a group I'd never heard of but they were really cool. Sometimes shows get totally different styles of music to open, but this group definitely fit the theme and they did a great job! Plus, the Showbox is always an awesome venue!

    Rave + Mosh = Amazing

    by ST165 on 2/21/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    It was unlike any concert I'd ever been too. I can't stop smiling, it seems so surreal that I was able to see them live. I have to see them again. Without question.

    Pendulum blew my mind

    by drummerboy354 on 2/21/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    I would see that exact show every weekend if I could. It was amazing and it at no point dull.

    Unbelievable show

    by lineskiier21 on 2/21/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    Pendulum has had an allegiance of fans in the Seattle area for a while now, but, understandably, haven't come on a real tour over here in a long time because they are so much more popular in the UK and Australia. Well, with this show, I think they might be visiting Seattle again! (at least I hope so) It was crazy, I think almost everyone there was an avid listener, and knew exactly when the wild parts of a song were coming. Definitely think they could have played a bigger venue than the Showbox though, they sold that place out easily.

    Not the first or last time I will see them

    by Seymour226 on 2/21/11Showbox SODO - Seattle

    This was the fourth time I saw pendulum but a first for seeing the whole band. The other times it was just a dj set. They did not dissapoint. There music and vocals were on point and they really did a good job of gettingthe crowd into it. If your a fan don't miss out on you next chance to see them. The venue was good too big enough to have a good size crowd but it still had some intamacy you don't get from giant venues. The sound quality was good too.

    Pendulum really know how to get the crowd involved and give everyone the energy to keep dancing. Definitely one of the best concerts I've ever been to
