P!ATD + the Take Cover bands

Matt Squire was also the producer for The Receiving End of Sirens. Brendan from TREOS talked about how P!ATD had picked their producer: “I remember Matt Squire had been introduced to Panic! and it was between Matt Squire and some other big-name guys. I remember we were in Racine Wisconsin… and Squiz had texted me saying ‘can you call this kid Spencer, he’s in this band Panic! at the Disco, and convince him to work with me?’ So I was like ‘heeeeyyy is this Spencer? You should work with Matt Squire.’ He’s like ‘oh. cool, man. thanks.’”

It was announced around the second week of July (while Panic was still in the studio) that P!ATD would be the first opening band for Acceptance's Take Cover Tour starting in late August (Crush managed Acceptance). Cartel & Augustana were the other opening bands, while The Receiving End of Sirens were direct support. Panic had only played 2 shows before starting this tour, so they basically had to learn how to be a band as they went.

Matt Squire had invited TREOS to a bbq during the summer while AFYCSO was being recorded and told that band to take P!ATD under their wing. They totally did, and they also pulled a lot of crap on the new band lol. Brendan and Nate from TREOS were on the Voice & Verse podcast like a decade ago talking about a lot of stuff, but at one point the Take Cover tour came up. I made this edit for the parts where they talked about watching an inexperienced Panic! at the Disco become famous overnight:

There’s a bit in there about how the guys would mess with P!ATD… they tried to get Brendon to lose his voice each night by screaming during Broadcast Quality (he also came onstage for that during Bamboozle 2006). The other bands were joking around with P!ATD throughout the tour, but they really pranked them on the final night.

Oh, and here's what Will from Cartel had to say about touring with P!ATD. The fandom did not like him when that article came out. Nic from Cartel was cool, though.

P!ATD was #1 on purevolume in early September and I heard that TREOS announced that to their crowds. Nate Patterson from TREOS also joined P!ATD onstage at some shows to play guitar for Nails for Breakfast:

And then here are some random shots of Ryan & Brendon offstage with Alex Bars & Brendan Brown from TREOS. A fan at the Dallas show said that Ryan was "attached" to Alex Bars and they were everywhere together. The fans who took the first 2 pictures below at different shows said that Ryan specifically asked for a picture of him with Alex, and Alex asked for one with Brendon:

Also, I love Alex's Gatsby's American Dream t-shirt... TREOS had toured with them earlier that year before Warped Tour.

My favorite part of the audio clips I included above is when Brendan Brown is reminiscing about watching P!ATD become big during the Take Cover Tour:

BRENDAN: it happened so fast that by the last date of the tour they – by anyone’s account – should’ve been headlining the shows… It was just crazy watching it happen. It was also like a perspective for us… our band is not going to do something like that.  NATE: Yes, that was reality right then and there. That tour. BRENDAN: Yeah cause you still think ‘oh we could be big.’ And then you watch firsthand what happens when a band becomes big overnight and you’re like ‘oh THAT’S what getting big looks like. That’s not happening for us.’ NATE: …I tried to flat-iron my hair but it just did not work.

Hi!! I was wondering if you know anything about this panic hoodie design? I thought it might be from sometime in 2007 but I’m not sure, I haven’t been able to find any info on it. It has American apparel tags just like a hoodie I have from panic’s 2006 headlining summer tour, the one with the same design as the backdrop they used. I love your entire page so much it’s totally awesome!!! <33

Thanks!!

a couple designs got added to FBR's webstore in fall 2007 and I think that hoodie was one of them

hi! do you know if there was any significance to this purple wristband that brendon wore in the fever era? if it was yellow I would think it was a livestrong bracelet lol

that's the old "reading is magic" bracelet from Borders (the bookstore RIP). the bracelet was decently common, but idk what significance it had to him (if any) or why he kept it on for so long other than the fact that we were all weirdly obsessed with the livestrong-style bracelets for a few years ?

[prettyoddfever]

are you going for WWWY fest to see AFYCSO live!!!

I have tickets! but I am legit questioning whether my anxious ass wants to be in a crowd that size. 😬 I mean, I'll probably end up going... just currently freaked out at the thought.
