The following interview was conducted in the latter parts of 2006, and is comprised almost entirely of questions compiled from fan submissions on this very website. We want to thank the band, Panic! at the Disco, as well as their management team for helping us put this interview together.

What is with the makeup you wear during your performances on tour and other shows? Why do you feel the need to wear it?

Ryan: “I feel pretty, oh so pretty…”

Spencer: We always want our fans to be entertained and to feel like they came to see a show. What’s weird is I can’t understand why it bothers anyone.

When did the band decide to make a switch from seemingly normal clothes and nothing on stage to the costumes, makeup, and circus act? Do you ever think that the theatrics you put into your live show all of the sudden will make people think you’re a “gimmick” band? If you don’t, why isn’t it a gimmick?

Spencer: We switched when we were able to headline and control the overall show. When you’re an opening band, you have a very short set and limited stage room. You’re also not making enough to pay for gas, let alone a crew and production so it doesn’t make sense to half ass it. I don’t get why trying to do the best show possible for our fans makes us a “gimmick” band. The album doesn’t wear makeup. If you liked the album before we had make up on. Why would it suddenly become worse? Read the full article »

Panic! At the Disco ranked at #9 on the Top Ten Selling Digital Albums of 2006 chart. According to Nielsen’s year-end report, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out sold a total of 109,997 units online last year.

Jon Walker, Panic! at the Disco’s former replacement (now permanent) bassist and token “normal dude”: “I can’t think of anything better to do on New Year’s than maybe enjoy an extra-value meal from one of my favorite fast-food chains and watch some videos on YouTube.” – MTV.com

I hope you all have a fantastic New Year with only good things coming your way. May 2007 be even better than last year was for Panic!. We have a new album to look foward to now…
