Just days after Wilson's departure, the band embarked on their first headlining tour through Europe, with long-time friend, Jon Walker, filling in for the summer tour as a temporary bassist while a permanent replacement was sought. Wilson demanded a cut in royalties, and threatened to take his former band to court if need be. Wilson has since claimed that the decision to leave was not his, and that he was fired without warning for monetary reasons, though the rest of the band deny this. The band officially announced the departure of their bassist, Brent Wilson, with a message on the band's website on May 17, 2006. The accompanying music video, released the previous month, portrays the band playing in a speakeasy in 1930's America, which, according to Urie, shows "the dark and secluded style of Panic." Their second single, "But It's Better If You Do", was released in the UK on where it debuted, and peaked, at #23. Due to their increase in popularity before and during the tour, the band ended up getting pushed above Acceptance to second-billed every night playing right before the headliner and "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" outsold The Academy Is.'s debut album, " Almost Here" during the tour. and included Acceptance as direct support and Hellogoodbye on the line-up. The band was originally third-billed for the Truckstops & Statelines Winter Tour in early 2006, which was headlined by The Academy Is. The single itself, released Apgot to #7 in the US charts. The song was also featured and ran for a month as a "Hip Clipz" on the website of Curly Grrlz Skateboards. After a consistent presence in PureVolume's top 10 signed artists, and reaching number one in MySpace's indie charts, Panic! at the Disco were featured on MTV's Total Request Live on January 17, 2006, where they premiered their music video for " I Write Sins Not Tragedies." Featuring Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque and a circus wedding theme, the video débuted at #10 on the TRL countdown, later winning the Video of the Year award at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. Panic! at the Disco released their debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out on September 27, 2005, making a fan base through PureVolume and MySpace, though achieving little initial commercial recognition. After seeing them practice, he asked if they would sign with his Fueled by Ramen imprint label Decaydance.Ī Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005–2007) Wentz took a trip to Las Vegas to meet the band. The band contacted Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz through LiveJournal and sent him an internet link to their PureVolume site. It was also stated by the band that the "!" after "Panic" was a typo and was later dropped Although the band often says that the name comes from the song Panic by The Smiths, it was revealed by them that the Name Taken song did also lend inspiration to the band, but that the song by The Smiths is sometimes easier to explain to those unaware of Name Taken. The band then settled on the name 'Panic! at the Disco.' They lifted the name from the lyrics of a song called "Panic," by Name Taken: Panic! at the disco. However, when they heard Brendon sing backup vocals during a rehearsal, they were impressed with his backup vocal abilities and unanimously decided to make him the singer. Rather, the position belonged to former guitarist and lyricist Ryan Ross. Originally, Urie was not the band's lead singer. Wilson asked Urie to try out as guitarist for the fledgling band, as they were looking for a replacement for Trevor at the time. Wilson met Brendon Urie at Palo Verde High School. Ross and Smith then created a band under the name of "Pet Salamander" with two other friends, including Brent Wilson and guitarist Trevor Howell, who would later leave the band. Since the age of 13, the two played Blink-182 covers in bands of different formations, according to an interview with Walker and Ross. The band was formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, by two childhood friends-Ryan Ross on the guitar and Spencer Smith on the drums.
