Panik: News

Here's a little something we quickly put together (barely) for our last show of the year. It'll only be posted for a short time, so please enjoy!
Merry Christmas from all of us in PANIK! See ya soon!

This is it, folks, your last chance to see us play in 2008! We would really love it if y'all came on down to the Fire Escape on the eve of Saturday, December 6th to join us for some holiday fun. We're lookin' to play a very special tune for you.

Joining us for this special night will be The Fabulous Miss Wendy from Hollywood. You may have seen her in Revolver Magazine recently. She's a cool person, and a cool performer as well.

We're holding off on booking anymore shows for now, as we're finally going to finish that CD we've been promising you for so long. You've waited long enough, right? We have a new year coming, and it looks to be an awesome one...for a variety of reasons.

And in case you don't hear it from us enough, thank you so much for your continued love and support. We love making music for you! See ya on the 6th!

Our next show is November 1st at Marilyn's in downtown Sacramento. We're going to be playing for an hour, so you'll get to hear plenty of awesome music. An hour show for only 7 bucks! How cool is that?

We'll be at Club Retro on Friday, October 3rd. The show starts at 6:00 PM. There will be a lot of great bands playing that night. The order of the bands will not be determined until showtime, so get there plenty early!

Club Retro is located at 6521 Hazel Ave in Orangevale, CA. This a very safe environment, so if you ever wanted to bring your young ones to see us play, this is the perfect opportunity to do so.

Tickets are $10.00 at the door, $9.00 if you purchase advance tickets from one of us. E-mail us at panikband@hotmail.com if you want to get advance tickets. We will get them to you.

Due to our September 13th show at the Kennel Club being cancelled, we are set to head west and take over San Francisco that night instead!

So please come on out and join us on Saturday, September 13th at The Retox Lounge. For show details, click on the Upcoming Chaos link over on the right.

Here's some updates for y'all...
1. Thanks to the dedication of our awesome fans, we made it past round 1 of the Lollapalooza contest. Unfortunately though, we did not pass round 2. But you know what? That fact that all of you took the time each day to vote, keeping us in the upper 50 out of hundreds of bands, well, that's simply amazing, and it means a lot to us!

2. We will not be performing in Concord on Saturday due to unforseen circumstances. However, the show with Girl in a Coma at the Fire Escape is still a GO GO GO! We'll see you there on July 12th!

3. We do have some more upcoming shows scheduled for the Kennel Club and Marilyn's. Check the Upcoming Chaos page for more details as they arrive.

4. Panik was featured in Fringe Magazine's 5 Bands to Know in Sac! This was in the June 2008 issue.

There will be more news coming soon, so keep on checking back. We love having you here.!

First of all, let's all give a big hand to our own Poppy - he's gone and gotten himself engaged!

Second of all, we have two shows coming up...both on July 12th! The first one is at the Red Hat in Concord, CA. This is an all-day bbq/punk/rock/psychobilly show that includes hot rods and bikini big wheel racing! How could we possibly pass that up? We should be going on at around 1:00 PM. So for all of you Bay Area pals, this one's for you!

Once we rock the heck outta Concord, we'll be heading back to Sac for an awesome show at the Fire Escape with Blame Betty and Girl in a Coma! Get there early, as the place fills up fast!

And last but not least, please continue voting for Panik to get to Lollapalooza! (See the link at the top of the home page? Use it.) Your support means the world to us!

See ya real soon!

That's right, Panik wants to play at Lollapalooza this year. But we can't do it without YOUR help! It's easy! All you have to do is vote here.
You can vote once per day from each of your e-mail accounts. Will you help us?

See ya at the Boardwalk!

First, thanks so much to all of you that came out and welcomed us back into the scene on May 3rd. That was totally awesome, and we had an amazing time!

For all of you that tell us things like, "my daughter listens to your CD all the time!" Guess what!!! We're playing at the Boardwalk on Friday, May 23rd, and it is an ALL AGES venue. So please give your kids a special treat ... an evening with Panik! More details can be found on the Upcoming Chaos page.

We are looking forward to rocking the heck out of you on Saturday, May 3rd at the Kennel Club! We shall be showing off our new drummer, Poppy! Celebrate the arrival of Poppy by throwing poppies at Poppy on stage!
I know, you can't pick poppies in California, right? That's just the orange California poppy. There are other breeds of poppies out there. But if you can't find any, feel free to substitute the poppies with daisies. Also feel free to call Poppy "Daisy" if you like. It'll go over well.

We can't wait to see you!

Find out on May 3rd at the Kennel Club! More details to follow...

Stay tuned for details on that.

Until then though, we're making you a special offer! We're letting you download our debut CD, Don't, for just $5.00 at CD Baby. That's right, the whole thing for $5.00.

Just click on the link to The Psychopop Shoppe and then click on the CD cover. It's that simple.

Get it now, as this deal will not last forever.

See ya soon!

Plenty!

As Dana and Brandon prepare for the arrival of their little one, work on the new Panik CD will continue. We shall be back really soon ... with a shiny new collection of songs that you've all been waiting for, and perhaps something new for your ears to enjoy!

Thanks to all of you that came out and rocked with us at our last couple of shows. We really appreciate your support and friendship. The time will go by fast, and we'll be back out there before you know it.

It has been confirmed...

Panik's last performance of 2007 will be at the Kennel Club on October 20th. Don't miss out on your last chance to see us this year! Click on Upcoming Chaos for more details.

Once the show is done, we will be going back to the studio to complete work on our new CD. All of your favorites will be here, and perhaps something you've never heard before...you'll have to wait and see.

We hope to see all of you at the Kennel Club!

Due to the Stoney Inn being sold, our October 13th show there has been cancelled. The club may become a music venue again in the future. We'll have to wait and see.

We are looking at other dates and venues to put on one last show for our local fans before we go into hiding for a while. Keep watching for details on where and when that might be.

Huge thanks to all that came to see us at Toot's Tavern in Crockett! For most of you, it was the first time you've seen us play. We truly appreciate your support.

Panik has just two more shows remaining for 2007. After these shows, we will be hibernating for a while to finish up the new CD - and also welcome a new life into the world. We'll be back in early 2008.

So here are your last chances to party with us in 2007 -

Sept. 30th - a special Bay Area performance at Toot's Tavern in Crockett. (It's that little town on the other side of the Carquinez Bridge) Yes, it's a Sunday, but we're playing at 7:00 PM so everyone can get back home and into bed at a reasonable hour. Or...you can stick around for a while and buy Mike lots of beers.

October 13th at The Stoney Inn in Sacramento. This is the last local performance of 2007. Come celebrate with us! Also on hand will be Shadowbox Theory, Prylosis, and the mighty Iguanadon. Panik will be up second, so y'all don't wanna be late. Once we're done, please stick around and check out the other bands, and buy Mike lots of beers.

For more info on the shows, click on the Upcoming Chaos link.

Our new CD will soon be a reality. We have already finished the preliminary tracks, and it's time for the fun to begin!

Keep checking back for progress reports.

First, a big thanks to Blame Betty for inviting us to play On the Y with them on June 8th. We had lots of fun! We'll be rockin' with them again at the Roadhouse on June 23rd!

June 23rd will be our last show for a short spell, as we will finally begin the recording process. We'll be back at it again around the end of Summer. (Unless, of course, something really cool comes our way, then we'll see)

We know you've all been waiting a very long time for a new CD, and there are quite a few songs you've been asking us to record. You never know...you might even get something you've never heard before.

So please join us on June 23rd at the Roadhouse. You'll have a GREAT TIME!

We'll be jammin' at On the Y on Friday, June 8th. We'll be opening the show promptly at 9:00, so please be sure to get there early! Click on the "Upcoming Chaos" link for more details.

A huge THANK YOU to all of you that came out and rocked the fair with us! We truly appreciate the support. We had an awesome time. Hopefully we'll get to do that again sometime in the future.

It's time to give the Sacramento County Fair a good, old fashioned wake-up call, Panik style!

Panik will be performing at the Sac County Fair at Cal Expo on Sunday, May 27th at 11:00 AM. Yeah, it seems early, but this show will give you all the energy you need to last the whole day on the rides and eating the deep-fried Twinkies. (Disclaimer - they may not have deep-fried Twinkies - this is the county fair, not the state fair.)

Here's the good part...entrance to the fair is FREE! On top of that, you can bring your whole family to watch. (Another disclaimer - the fair is free, but parking is not.)

So set the alarm clock, plaster on some sun screen, pack up the family and head on out for some fun at the fair!
