Panama Wedding is an American synthpop group based in New York City. The four-piece band is fronted by its lead singer and songwriter, Peter Kirk. Originally from Sea Cliff, New York, Kirk grew up recording music in his bedroom, although it wasn't until he rented studio space in Manhattan that he seriously began to write music. Initially, Kirk spent several years performing his electronic/computer-based pop as a solo act before expanding Panama Wedding into a full ensemble with a rhythm section.

In 2013, the group released a reworked version of their song "All of the People" featuring production by Eric Sanicola and Andrew Maury. The online popularity of the song, as well as a series of successful appearances at CMJ, helped broaden the group's profile and they quickly signed to Glassnote Records. In 2014, Panama Wedding released their debut extended play, Parallel Play. The album charted at number 22 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[1]
