On this day, 19 April 2006, American pop punk band Panic at the Disco played Cardiff University. Support was provided by My Chemical Romance and The Ataris.The band were touring in support of their debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. It peaked at #17 in the UK album charts.
Produced by Matt Squire, the album was released on September 27, 2005, through Decaydance and Fueled by Ramen. The group formed in Las Vegas in 2004 and began posting demos online, which caught the attention of Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz. Wentz signed the group to his own imprint label, Decaydance, without them having ever performed live.
It is the only album released during original bassist Brent Wilson's time in the band, but the exact nature of his involvement in the writing and recording process became a source of contention upon his dismissal from the group in mid-2006.
