PAK is an American, New York City based, band. They are signed to John Zorn's Tzadik label.

PAK was originally formed by Ron Anderson in 2000,[1] after he spent some time with The Molecules. The original line-up consisted of Anderson, Jesse Krakow, Will Redmond, and Race Age. This line-up released the album 100% Human Hair. In 2003, Race Age was replaced by Kim Abrams, Redmond left the group, and that version released Motel, which was well received.[2][3][4] This version of the group also performed at the Bowery Poetry Club with Jac Berrocal.

In 2007, Anderson reconfigured the group, switching from guitar to bass, and recruiting Tim Byrnes on various instruments. This version of the group toured Europe (as a duo, with Abrams and Anderson along with occasional guest musicians), and is currently working on their next release. The band played shows in 2012 with Nonoko Yoshida.[5]
