There are two artists listed under The Panics.
1.) The Panics are a band from Perth, Western Australia who started out while Jae Laffer (singer /guitarist & keyboards) and Drew Wootton (Guitar) were still at high school. They added Drew’s younger brother Myles Wootton on drums, Paul Otway (Bass) and Julian Douglas (Keyboard/ Guitar and Vocals) soon after. They were signed to the UK-based label LittleBIGMAN Records, a label set up by Pete Carroll and Gaz Whelan co founder of The Happy Mondays.
Their first release, a self-titled EP in 2002, enjoyed high rotation on Australian radio station Triple J and community radio stations around Australia, from which they gained some attention. The following two EPs This Day Last Year and Kid You’re A Dreamer also generated radio exposure across Australia.
In 2002 The Panics were the first Australian band to be invited to play at “In The City (festival)” the UK’s annual music convention. While in England they commenced recording tracks for their debut album, with parts being recorded in Manchester UK and the rest co-produced with Steve Bond in Australia, and mixed by Jeremy Allom (The La’s, Massive Attack). A full-length album, A House on a Street in a Town I’m From followed in 2003 to local critical praise. In 2004 the band signed a worldwide deal with Festival Publishing. They have also had several tracks featured in films, most recently This Day Last Year was commissioned for “Jew Boy”, which was broadcast in 2005.

Sometimes it happens that bands don't hear of other bands when they name them. Look at Nirvana for instance. Hell, there is even 2 Toad the Wet Sprockets!

It's great that you're touring the UK. But I don't suppose you could pop over het canal and visit the Netherlands, could you? I've been waiting forever to see you guys. I can guarantee one attendee at least ;) (and I'm sure there be some lost aussies who will appreciate it as well)

I could be crazy but the opening riff on their song "This Day Last Year" sounds so incredibly similar to something I've heard before. It's been bugging me for so long. Help anyone? Or am I just plain mad. :|
