"Oh my god I’ve missed you guys," says Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie all in one breath enthusiastically down the phone-line. And ahead of P!ATD’s return to New Zealand next week, it seems the feeling is mutual with only very limited tickets left available for the band’s show at Vector Arena next week on February 2nd - which was upgraded after originally selling out the Logan Campbell Centre.
We caught up with Urie at the end of last year - a conversation during which there could be no doubt at all about the sincerity of his excitement...

Alexandra Savior first popped up on musical tastemakers’ radars earlier this year with 'Risk’ - a track the 21-year-old Portland native co-wrote with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner (that soundtracked 'True Detective' Season 2) - and continued to pique the interest of critics and fans alike, with the reveal that not only had Savior and Turner written an entire album together, but also that Savior contributed to The Last Shadow Puppets' new album cut, 'Miracle Aligner' (which was originally intended for herself).
Interview: Joe Keery on 'Stranger Things', Post Animal, and his favourite Pokémon.

There’s not many people in the world that I would get up at 5am in the morning to interview, but when the time arose to speak with Joe Keery (known to most as Steve from ‘Stranger Things’, and also Jean-Ralphio Saperstein’s supposed father), an early morning was worthwhile. He’s nothing but apologetic for getting me up early - “I’m so sorry to wake you up so early!” - and at the end of the interview instructs me to go back to bed.
