Search - Panico :: Kick

Panico formed in 1994 in Santiago, Chile and went on to release four albums in South America before moving to Paris in 2001 where they released 'Telepathic Sonora' through Sony. After parting company with Sony they started working with Tigersushi, releasing 'Subliminal Kill' in 2005 to critical acclaim. Shortly after, Panico befriended Franz Ferdinand, the latter hailing Panico as their 'favourite band'. UK and wider European press took note, impressed by their live set on tours with Franz. Returning to play in South America, the band were heralded as cult heroes and effortlessly sold out 3,000 capacity venues in their native Chile before returning to Paris in 2008 to start work on forthcoming album 'Kick'.
Recorded at Franz Ferdinand's studio with Paul Savage mixing and Gareth Jones producing, 'Kick' is Panico's most compelling album to date and will be released worldwide (bar France and Benelux) on Chemikal Underground on 11th October 2010. The band have also recently completed a documentary film with James Schneider as they visit 'ghost towns' in the Northern Deserts of Chile - due for release in 2011.
