Panic at the Disco are Union Suit Fans in the Limelight!

Panic at the Disco is a Las Vegas, Nevada rock band founded in 2004 by Brent Wilson, Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross, and Spencer Smith, boyhood friends. Their first demos were actually produced while the boys were still in high school. The band's first studio album was “Fever you Can't Sweat Out” in 2005.

The accompanying photos, however, are taken from the group's first single entitled “Nine in the Afternoon” from their second album, “Pretty Odd.” A video by the same name was filmed on December 20 and 21, 2007 and released on January 28, 2008. During one of their lengthy practice sessions, someone asked the time. Spencer said that it was seven in the afternoon. This was later change to nine in the afternoon to match other song lyrics.

"The concept of the video for the song is a series of bizarre yet fundamentally recognizable events with the band members," according to the release. Forty extras were used in their video. There are different period shots, wardrobes, looks and hair changes. MTV reported at the time, "...in the video there are gratuitous fake mustaches involved and a rather bizarre parade being led by the members of the band, who are dressed in what could only be described as Sgt. Pepper's meets ice-fishing attire with lots of epaulettes and long thermal underwear. "


In addition to their Union Suits, the boys also wear sashes featuring the phrase 'Pretty Odd'. The current members of Panic at the Disco and extras performed as a marching band within the video. Their marching attire consisted of band hats,  boots, and one-piece button-down long underwear. At times during the video they wear animal masks. 



Several scenes within the video relate to the Beatles including a scene in which the boys run from screaming girls reminiscent of “A Hard Day's Night.” The animal masks were taken from the Beatle's video, “I am the Walrus.” MTV premiered the music video of "Nine in the Afternoon" on February 10, 2008 at 9:00pm to wide acclaim!
