New Zealand – [...] That night we all went out for Ryan Ross’s birthday. I hung out with him and Sisky all night. We had such a great time. Ryan might be one of my favorite humans around. I hadn’t seen him since the UK, it was awesome to hang out again. Sisky, Ryan and I jumped about a few clubs. Ended up at one ridiculous club that was playing horrible house music. We couldn’t believe how bad it was but decided to make the best of it. We had a few drinks., imitated some dancers, danced ourselves and got served Skittles by some woman who came around dressed as a nurse demanding we take our medicine (bizarre!)

Eventually we returned to the hotel and hung in Ryan’s room listening to Bob Dylan until we had to leave at 4:30am to hop on a plane to Hong Kong. Most everyone had been out at some kind of club or bar so we were all quite trashed.

Panic At The Disco’s latest album, Pretty. Odd was recorded in Las Vegas’ Studio at the Palms, with additional production and mixing completed at the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios in London. Produced by Grammy and Emmy Award-nominated arranger/composer Rob Mathes, the album sees Panic At The Disco embracing a melodic, classic rock-inspired aesthetic while still maintaining the visionary pop modernism that made its debut among the new millennium’s most popular and successful releases. Their debut album, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out sold in excess of 2 millions copies and they have just completed a national tour of Australia along with fellow rockers Cobra Starship and The Acedemy Is. On the afternoon of their Perth show, drummer, Spencer Smith spoke to Justin Middleton for this exclusive interview.

“We finally got some sleep last night which was good. We got up and saw that movie Pineapple Express, it was great, it was funny.” Read the full article »
