Band Hometown:
Las Vegas

Band Information, Part I:
There was a time when music from Las Vegas conjured up images of Liberace, the cape-wearing Elvis, and the sound of drum rolls that accompanied showgirls as they kicked up their gams and flung off their garments. Despite this shtick working its magic on the Strip, the first germ of the idea of what would become Panic At the Disco was planted by two kids oblivious to everything but the sounds of Blink-182 heard on strip mall loudspeakers in the distant suburbs surrounding Sin City. Cofounders Ryan Ross (guitar) and Spencer Smith (drums) eventually pulled in a few more of their high school pals (Brendon Urie and Brent Wilson) to complete the lineup. They experimented with original songs (as practiced in Spencer's grandmother's living room), nearly half of which would end up on their debut release, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. How did the music industry track down these innovative suburban high school talents? After hearing that Pete Wentz, bass player for the emo success story Fall Out Boy, was starting a new label, guitarist Ryan sent him a link to their website. Amazingly, after a few sampled tracks, this e-mailed URL led to being signed to Wentz's Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen records in 2005. Panic! At the Disco stand out amidst their labelmates by incorporating rapid-fire synths and drum machines into their high-energy melodies, along with not-so-rock 'n' roll instruments like a Vaudevillian piano and accordion.

We Have An Emergency!

got to www.portraitmagazine.net and vote for Panic.

they're coming to the philippines this august 14 in araneta coliseum...

too bad i'm bankrupt...

loooove them so much...

I liked a couple of their songs for about 5 seconds.

Not at all really now.

I hate their new CD with a passion. They used to be good.

I like their new album better then their old one. But Build God and Then We'll Talk is still my favorite.

It's hard to compare the 2 albums because they're 2 completely different styles. I like both but there were things I don't like about the second one. Their first was pretty much perfection.

I love both albums. I do think the lyrics are written a bit better on Pretty.Odd. though. On AFYCSO they kinda just repeated over and over and over.
The lyrics were basicly like this:
Swear to shake it up if you swear to listen oh we're still so young, desperate for attention and I aim to be your eyes trophy boys trophy wives
X9

Oh, did anyone see them on the Honda Civic Tour? I went on April 10th and 11th.

Jo(h?)n Walker replaced Brent Wilson a while ago on bass...
PATD is one of if not my favorite band. I love both albums, but Fever is my favorite.

I agree.

"Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking her Clothes Off" used to be my favorite song for a while.

And I used to think that making their song titles really long was cool, but now its just annoying and uneccesary.

As a matter of fact, I don't think it was ever neccesary.

THEY SUCk!

im glad someone agrees

I think their new CD is brilliant. I've listened to the entire thing about ten 10 times. Everday on the way to work
