They are (or rather, Brendon is) now more famous for theatrical performances and aesthetic and a general shift in sound towards danceable pop with jazz influences. Pre-2016, the band was known for their quirky fashion sense, rampant stage gay antics, lyrical sense of playful wit, and longer-than-life song titles (which were initially made as jokes but later abandoned for more traditional-length titles after Brendon began forgetting them onstage).
The live touring band currently consists of Dan Pawlovich (the band's former drum-tech & Spencer's immediate replacement after Spencer left, also a member of the band Valencia) on drums, Nicole Row (former live bassist for Miley Cyrus) on bass, and Mike Naran (former guitarist for Sparks The Rescue) on guitar, along with a horn section and string trio nicknamed the Horny Boys and the Wicked Strings, respectively. Weekes officially joined the band as a full-time member in 2012, only to cease studio contributions in 2015 note he remained a touring member until December 2017, and with Smith quitting earlier that year, that left Brendon as the only official member of Panic! at the Disco.Īs a result, Panic! is now widely considered - by audiences, the media, and Brendon himself - to be Brendon's solo endeavor, as he now writes/co-writes all the songs and plays all the instruments, with some contributions by studio musicians & music producers. In July 2009, Ross and Walker left the group to form their own band, The Young Veins, and were replaced by touring guitarist Ian Crawford (formerly of The Cab) note Though he left not long after that, only to be replaced by guitarist Kenny Harris, who was himself fired in September 2018 for numerous sexual misconduct allegations involving underage fans and bassist Dallon Weekes (formerly of The Brobecks, now in I Don't Know How But They Found Me). They were discovered by Fall Out Boy's bassist Pete Wentz and signed to his vanity label, Decaydance. The project started and grew popular as an eclectic pop rock band created in 2004 by childhood friends Ryan Ross (guitarist/main songwriter), Spencer Smith (drummer), and Brent Wilson (bassist), later joined by Brendon (lead singer) and Jon Walker (who replaced Brent in 2006). The name comes from a line in the song "Panic" by Name Taken, but due to the relative obscurity of this reference, the band usually cites the more familiar "Panic" by The Smiths, which contains the line "Burn down the disco" in its chorus. Panic! At The Disco’s new album “Death of a Bachelor” will be available on January 15, 2016.Panic! at the Disco is the solo project of singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Brendon Urie. Take a look at the devilish awesomeness below: They’re like the Brangelina of music videos. This Panic/Campos marriage must become a permanent thing. Also, let’s not forget to mention that the song itself (which is crazy good), shows a side of Panic we have not yet heard before. What remains, is that beautifully choreographed movement that Campos has become so well known for, while still allowing the video to harness a completely unique tone of it’s own. I do think that Urie’s makeup becomes a little costume-y towards the end of the video – but the theatrical qualities of Panic and the track itself, kind of made it work in its own charming little way. The choreography and concept are exceptional – and an absolutely perfectly timed gift to Halloween. I love love love Cloud Campos’ work – and the fun and creepy tones of “Emperor’s new clothes” is no exception. Along with a choir of singing skulls – reminiscent of the quirky afterlife of a Tim Burton animation – Brendon becomes more and more consumed by his surroundings. Trying to fight off the wickedness, Urie is devoured by evil as he is transformed into a Dave-Grohl-as-Beezlebub-esque demon of the underworld.
