AFTER SPENDING two years on the road promoting their debut album, 2005’s “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out,” the members of Panic at the Disco focused on two new efforts. The first was recording a new disc. The second? “We’ve been playing a lot of hacky sack and getting really good at it,” bassist Jon Walker said with a laugh. “We’ve been bringing it back. It’s the best exercise you can ever get – and it’s fun.” Which just goes to show that even though the group, once known as Panic! at the Disco, has dropped its exclamation point, it… Read more »

Panic at the Disco recently filmed the video for ‘That Green Gentleman’ in L.A., which finds the band turned Russian dolls that shrink in size. The video also featured a number of extras, who won the chance to hang with Panic and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz after they submitted their best lip-synching videos, filmed on their Nokia N95 phones, to ‘I Write Sins, Not Tragedies.’ “We all saw the ones that won and then a few other ones that were right up there with it,” Panic’s Spencer Smith tells PopEater. “That was pretty funny.

Given the radical image changes that Panic! At The Disco has undergone in the past year, it’s hard not to read the lyrics to its new album’s opening song as a pre-emptive strike against critics. “Oh, how it’s been so long/we’re so sorry we’ve been gone/we were busy writing songs/for you,” bassist Jon Walker sings, by way of apology for the two-and-a-half-year lag between 2005’s “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” and the new “Pretty. Odd.,” due March 25 via Fueled by Ramen/Atlantic. Then, he launches into lines meant to comfort fans who have no doubt noticed that their favorite… Read more »
