Panic At The Disco live in Hong Kong

[Mixer]

Lushington Entertainments are proud to announce an exciting Hong Kong date for cult act of the moment, Panic At The Disco.

The Panic At The Disco story is now the stuff of pop legends as their Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen debut, A Fever You Can?t Sweat Out, broke through the Internet and propelled the band to certified platinum status with more than 2.3 million in sales worldwide. They will be performing at the AsiaWorld Expo ? Hall 6 on 12th August 2008.



Panic at The Disco is made up of Brendon Urie (Vocals, guitar, keyboard), Ryan Ross (Guitar, keyboard, backing vocals), Spencer Smith (Drums, percussion) and Jon Walker (Bass, keyboards).
?
?The Internet?s been great for us. Without it, we wouldn?t have gotten noticed,? acknowledges band founder and chief songwriter/lyricist Ryan Ross, who signed to Pete Wentz? Decaydance imprint on influential indie label Fueled by Ramen for the album?s release in 2005. The rest is pop history on a global scale.

With songs like the Top 10 single, ?I Write Sins Not Tragedies,? and nonstop touring, first with bands like Fall Out Boy, then on their own as headliners, Panic At The Disco saw A Fever You Can?t Sweat Out land in the Top 15 of the sales charts. The colorful video for the clip, featuring San Francisco?s Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque, quickly became number one on MTV.
?
In 2006, they were awarded top honors with ?Video of the Year? at the MTV Video Music Awards and have been on the cover of various respected music mags including Rolling Stone, NME, Spin and Kerrang. They also have an entry in the record books of London?s legendary Brixton Academy after selling out four consecutive shows.

?For our first album, we started writing not having a good idea of what we wanted the whole album to sound like,? says Smith. ?We kind of went in a completely different direction halfway through. Now we?ve had the time to think it through a little more.?

For their second album, they have taken a completely different approach in recording. Instead of relying on computer software, the band is writing on acoustic guitars, recording the album live in the studio and also incorporating horn and string orchestral arrangements. Their influences have also shifted gears on this record, looking to albums their parents listened to for inspiration: the Beach Boys, the Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles.

?

?We want to make music like that, simple and timeless. We?re working on bettering ourselves as musicians,? concludes Ross. ?We want to continue to improve. I admire a band like The Beatles, who came onto the scene as a pop act, but turned out to be one of the greatest musical entities

Hong Kong standing tickets are priced at HK$650 and will go on sale at all HK Ticketing and Tom Lee outlets.?

Hong Kong?s public sale will be on Tuesday, 3 June 2008.
