[Picaflor 7/4]

^arigato. I liked their old name. Nevada Tan. "Panik!" that is really unoriginal. Their producer was mean to them. I read that they were locked up in their recording studio for a few days and weren't allowed to shower or eat or anything till they came up with music. Then they quit and reformed "Panik". I got into them through "neustart" (I own the single too) today, its still my favorite song by them. ^^ makes me want to sing it when I graduate high school.

found it...

The band officially changed their name after they demanded a civil suit from their old producers and managers. The band claimed to have been cheated out of money, and had not received a penny from the CD Niemand Hört Dich. They also revealed that they had been used and that the producers and manager had plan to exploit them as some pop teenie band. In an interview with Stern TV they showed parts of videos that Timo had recorded and showed them to see how they had treated Panik. David also said that he had gone about 4 days without a shower, and that they were forced not to leave the studio and sleep on the floor. Also, without the band knowing it the producers and managers had gone ahead and put legal rights under the name "Nevada Tan" therefore if the band wanted to leave they could not use the same name. In the Stern TV interview it was revealed because of what had been done to the band and the fact that the producers and manager used them the contract was null and void.
