PANIC! AT THE DISCO
With special guests
BLOC PARTY
JACK’S MANNEQUIN
DECEMBER 3, 7PM
EVERETT EVENTS CENTER

Some bands spend their whole careers just hoping to produce an album as complex, cohesive and creative as A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Not PANIC! AT THE DISCO. They managed to get it right on the first try. With their flair for experimental instrumentation and intimately observant lyrics, the band came up with the concept to divide the album in two halves: the first being futuristic, complete with drum machines and synthesizers, and the second being nostalgic, complete with Vaudevillian piano and accordion. Panic took pointers from some of their biggest -- although not overt -- influences: Third Eye Blind's melodic song structures (on "But It's Better When We Do"), Queen's theatric instrumentation (on "Build God, Then We'll Talk") and Counting Crows' vivid and narrative lyrics (on "There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet"). It's this split-brain approach to songwriting that has resonated with listeners young and old. The band scored big with PureVolume (continually being on the site's Top 10 Signed Bands chart) and MySpace (reaching #1 on the indie charts). Says Amazon.com: “This is a band you can dance to; that's fun and sincere at the same time. Imagine The Faint meets The Postal Service with all of the pop sensibilities of a Blink 182.” “On all fronts,” reviews Rolling Stone, “Panic pillage two pop-friendly musical trends -- Eighties keyboard nostalgia and angry-boy pop punk -- and create something new.”
