We're backstage by The Dome 51, here's Jan Christian and Panik. Welcome!
Panik: Yes, hi, hi

I welcome you here again, you played Neustart for the first time, now there's Neustart II
Panik: Hahaha
Franky: Now we're releasing "Lass mich fallen". We're going to play it here today. It's cool to be here, we're really glad.

What's different now, what's new? I don't know what exactly happened with you, but when somebody sees you I think you look like a hard band. Stress with the producers, then you are not there, then you come back with a new name .. and so on. What was up with you in the last weeks, months?
Timo: Well .. we're not a hard band, I wouldn't call us that way but .. well .. we had problems with our ex managers, it was about the contract, we went to the court in Hamburg and we had a lot of stress, so it wasn't exactly nice .. and at the same time we worked on producing our scond album. So we're back again, the album will be out soon, the cause is closed and on the way here we managed to change our name.

Yeah that was the whole change from Nevada Tan to Panik. It all was really long, and now all of you produce. Or David does it all? So what's exactly your job now?
David: My exact job now is to sit around, record and when one doesn't like it I have to arrange it the way everybody likes it.

But that doesn't happen much ..
Panik: Exactly, that never happens, because we always agree on everything. We're harmonized.

Do you do your own thing now, or does someone still tell you what to do?
Franky: We always did what we wanted. We're still inder the same management and I think nothing has changed for us. Maybe you've heard "Jeder" from us, we always rock it. "Lass mich fallen" isn't that wild, but we wanted to show that we can make music in many directions, that we make good music in more ways.

But the style is still the same, you have a DJ, singer, rapper, that's really Panik.
Panik: Yes yes. The structure is still the same. but we feel like releasing our debut-album .. it's .. different. But a good feeling. It's more personal. The single was released Sept. 4., the album will come out September 25.

You give some of the singles for download for free, Jeder was free too. The people who download it are the good old Nevada Tan ans, or new people?
Franky: It's both, you can't say it like this. There are many people who are with us from the beginning. Many people who like is from the release of "WWDT". And some od them joined us just now. We feel sorry for some of them that we stopped our activity in 2008, but now it's on again, we're back with a great album and we stick together. Some people thought we left it all behind.

Yes, some people really thought that. But it's a good think that you as a band stayed together, the whole package.
Panik: No, it just looks like that, we really just photoshop some of us on the photos. Linke is out since "Vorbei" and we threw Jan out too.
