Reviews of the Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die Tour have been effusive:
“Urie danced his way across the stage during each song as he mirrored the crowd’s fervent energy, which was at full throttle the entire night…He isn’t afraid to hit those high falsetto notes to demonstrate his brilliant vocal range, show off some dance moves, or run around bare-chested performing acrobatics off the stage equipment.” —The Miami New Times
“Lead singer Brendon Urie’s voice is powerful and excellent…the energy level last night started high and never waned.” –Consequence of Sound
“The Marquee was transformed into a rock church during ‘This Is Gospel,’ as stained-glass images lit the stage. The audience faithfully followed Urie, who commanded the room as if it were his church.” —The Phoenix New Times
Panic! will also stage a takeover of the TV airwaves performing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Wednesday, March 5th.

The Killers have released some of the finest, most memorable, most loved songs of the last ten years, and they’re still going strong. Last year, in celebration of their first decade together, the band released Direct Hits on Island Records. A collection of singles from their four albums, plus two new songs, the album begins with the band’s breakthrough hit – and first song they wrote together – “Mr Brightside.” It follows the group from debut album Hot Fuss and its further singles, “Somebody Told Me,” “Smile Like You Mean It,” and “All These Things That I’ve Done,” “Sam’s Town’s,” “When You Were Young,” “Read My Mind,” and “For Reasons Unknown,” via Day & Age’s singles, including massive 2008 hit, “Human,” and last year’s stunning Battle Born album singles, kicking off with “Runaways.” A brace of brand new songs completes the set: “Shot At The Night” was recorded with M83’s Anthony Gonzales. The video for the song was directed by Robert Schober and was shot entirely in Las Vegas. “Just Another Girl,” meanwhile, was produced by long time Killers collaborator Stuart Price, who produced 2008’s Day & Age.

It seems like only yesterday, but it’s been more than a decade since Staind first exploded onto the Hard Rock vanguard. In that time, the Massachusetts-based quartet has staked a claim as one of modern music’s most powerful and provocative outfits, combining aggressive hard rock energy with singer/songwriter Aaron Lewis’s raw, heartfelt lyricism and gift for undeniable melody resulting into a magnificent, multi-platinum career. Marked by 15 million album sales worldwide, eight top ten singles across multiple formats with three songs hitting number one and the most-played Rock song of the past decade, “It’s Been Awhile,” Staind has solidified their name as a top Hard Rock act with three out of seven albums—Break the Cycle, 14 Shades of Grey, and Chapter V—debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200.
For their seventh studio album, the band decided to dive into bleaker recesses than ever before and surfaced with their heaviest and most hypnotic album to date – the self-titled, STAIND, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 charts.
