One of the dancers from the video shoot yesterday spilled some details about it. The video is for the song Ready to Go (Get Me Out Of My Mind), it will have a 20′s feel to it with various costumes and dancing sequences in the rain. The music video will be released in about two months. The video shoot lasted all day yesterday and the band is back at work today for Day 2.

It’s never easy to recover from a band breakup, whether it’s because of musical differences or riffs in the friendships among members. So when Panic! at the Disco guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker left the band in 2009, lead singer and songwriter Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith not only wondered about the band’s fate but if the four, former bandmates would ever be friends again.

“At the very beginning, we didn’t talk,” drummer Spencer Smith tells AOL. “After a little while, I think we individually all realized we were good friends outside of the band. It was only because we were in this business together that caused us to have any of the disagreements that we did.”

Smith says that he and Ross reconnected “about nine months ago” and are now back on good terms. “Now it’s great, because we’re able to see each other, and we’ll go grab a drink some times,” he says. “It’s good because it was an amicable split. And it’s nice because when you go back to being friends apart from having to write music together, which is, I think, the best thing for us.” Read the full article »
