There are at least three bands which use this name: 1. An electronic/nu jazz duo from South Africa 2. An alternative rock band from Germany 3. A rock band from Canada 4.

''Perceptions of Pacha'', released at Miami's Winter Music Conference March 2008, features 10 new tracks and the international release includes a second disc with a live performance video and remixes by top DJs from around the world. The band toured the US and Europe during 2008, and held a 4 month Friday night summer residency at super-club Pacha Ibiza. Their we
