PANIK before (2002-2009)
Before PANIK (2002-2009) was a German rock band established in Hamburg in 2007 (as sextet) under the name Nevada Tan. David and Timo have made music since 2002 in a band called Panik, Jan and Linke came later. In searching for a singer, they found Frank. Finally, Juri became part of the band substituting Max, who left earlier.
The band had its first official performance at The Dome 41 in Mannheim, on March 2, 2007. The first album "Niemand hört dich" is sold in almost 100 000 copies, enters in Top 10 and stays 26 weeks in the charts. The band has also 1 Jetix award for "Coolest Live-Act" and 2 Echo nominations in "Best national rock/alternative artist/group" and "The most successful national newcomer" categories. Their debut album reaches a golden status in Russia.
On 20 January 2008, Nevada Tan announced that they officially return their old name PANIK because of differences with their management. The following single "Was würdest du tun" shows how the boys have grown in musical direction. The result is cool sound, strong lyrics and self-producing. The recognition doesn’t come late. "Killer Rock/Rap from Germany", says Mike Shinoda, the frontman of Linkin Park "I don’t know what they're saying, but the overall vibe is pretty solid".
PANIK made their comeback with the new street single "Jeder", followed by the official single "Lass mich fallen". The new album "Panik" was released on 25th September. It seemed that the band has finally proven that they are awesome musicians and have great talent for composing an amazing music. And then the news came... out of the blue. On 11.11 PANIK stated that the band "will not go on in this constellation and the tour in December will be the last tour in Germany". Four of the members left and now PANIK is just Timo and David. We wish them luck!
