Here's an interview with Brendon from when they were in Brazil back in November.
~~
It’s not easy being in front of a band who said goodbye to half of its members not too long ago. Just ask Brendon Urie, the singer of Panic! At The Disco. He swears the exit of guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker, in July 2009, was in good terms, “with no drama”. And like that, he’s been living under a new perspective, like the title of their new single. Brendon told us how he’s writing without the help of Panic!’s formers members, his love for surfing, making new friends and the taste of beer before a show. Cheers to the new Panic!
Let’s talk about the exit of Ryan Ross and Jon Walker. Why did they leave the band?
Brendon: It was an entirely musical decision. We thought about it for a year. We wanted to do different things regarding our sound. We all agreed: ”Ryan and Jon want to do this and Spencer and I will keep doing the Panic thing”. It was a mutual agreement. Couldn’t have been better. There was no drama and we’re still friends.
Ryan and Jon have another band now, The Young Veins. Have you heard their songs?
Only a couple of demos, they’re cool. I consider myself a big fan of Ryan’s ability to write. It won’t surprise me if it turns out to be something really creative. He’s talented. He and Jon will do great.
You still keep in touch?
We exchange text messages sometimes. I talked to Jon a few weeks ago about getting together for a drink, to hang out... They were finalizing the album and getting ready for a tour. We were also getting ready to come to Brazil and start on the next album. It’s hard to get together because of our schedules. But we’ll do that soon.
Is it true the new Panic! album will be released at the beginning of 2010?
That’s what we’re hoping for. We don’t want it to come out much later than that.

Me and @brendonuriesays tonight.
"Anyway, I too went to the Buzz Bake Sale, and my review is severely long-winded, so I understand if you just skim through it. My photos are not so good because I was cold and therefore shivering. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. :)"

Post Anticipated: Albums we're still anticipating from last year's Most Anticipated issue
Not everyone featured in last year's Most Anticipated of 2009 issue managed to follow through with their best laid plans. For one reason or another, a handful of bands had to bump their albums to 2010. Why? Read on.
[300x371]PANIC! AT THE DISCO
You can't really blame Panic! At The Disco for needing an extension to finish their third album. After all, half of the band left this past summer. "Our band went through a transition which was definitely the right thing for everybody involved," says drummer Spencer Smith. "But we're definitely back on track now." Smith and frontman Brendon Urie have been focusing their efforts on the album for the past several months, only playing a few sporadic shows so the record can be released by summer. "There are a bunch of songs that are more or less done and others that are still at a rough stage with lots of potential," says Smith. "It's still going to be very 'Panic.' There are elements of everything our fans love worked into what we're writing, but it's another step in the evolution of our band."
