As a Band - we have decided to let our fans and everyone out there know a lil about each other as a group and as an individual. So we give your groups Bio. We're going to tell a lil about each other and what we are willing to do for this band.
Don't Panic
Don't Panic was formed in late spring of 2002 by local aspiring musicians, songwriters, and the remnants of Strangest Dream.
Danielle "Shortee" Lonergan - Lead Singer
Hi I'm Danielle M Lonergan, and I'm 17 years old. I have lived in Manchester CT my entire life. For the most part I am a happy person. I have been through Hell and Back. My parents recently passed away in the past 3 years and Now I live with my foster Family to whom I love. I love and miss my parents dearly! I wanted to be a part of a band cuz I enjoy singing and I always wanted to make a difference and I love expressing myself - Lyricly, Emotionally, and for the most part, Written form. And for fun - I love hanging out with friends doin whatever comes around! LOVES YA and Catch Ya on the FLipSIde!
Talia on right
Talia "Becky" Anderson - Bass Player
Hey, I'm Talia R. Anderson and I'm 17 years old. I live in Manchester CT for the most part - but then had to move to Cowtipping Vernon :( lol. I would like to say I'm not psycho - I just so happen to be enjoying myself in life. I have played Double bass for 8 years and play the bass as a second hand instrument...lol. I love to play music and I usually like original stuff so thats why I didn't mind being in a band! In my spare time I love to play Softball and do Gymnastics. It's practically my life. I do like to hang out with friends and do whatever comes around :)
Sid "Paula Ticks" Witham
Yo, I'm Sid. I'm 17 as well. My life consists of listening to and playing punk rock, painting and experimenting with whatever I can get my hands on. My idol is non other than John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers! I am currently attempting to learn bass at the moment. Also, I enjoy long walks on the beach and manipulating my four track. So come over and make an artsy demo with me!
Andy "Werdna" Ramsey
O.K. Here we go. So, my name is Andy, I'm 17 and I hail from Manchester, CT. Umm, Lets see... A little about me? Brown hair, brown eyes,(teal skin), 6'0. I play guitar for an as-of-yet unnamed band with a bunch of cool rocker grrrls.(We're Don't Panic, for the time being.) I'm trying to be less of an introvert, and to stop being shy. I do not have a girlfriend. I like to make music, draw, and ponder life, the universe and everything. My influences include of course, The Beatles, as well as Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Queen, Incubus, 311, Weezer, Foo Fighters, Tenacious D, Dick Dale, Nine Days, Green Day, and yes, I know it's geeky, but Greg Camp, the guitarist from Smashmouth.(shut up, he's fast as all hell.) Anyways, I’m in the process of writing songs right now, and there's not much left to say except that I hope you ladies and fellas like our little band, and will let us crash at your place someday when we're on tour. Toodles!
The P-nut
So I'm supposed to tell about myself? Well it's quite simple...I'm a P-nut...who plays bass...and loves music...:) I'm a definite fan of music...I take influences from all types of music, old and new, local and national...it doesn't matter, as long as I like it. Some of my favourite music is by bands like 311, Rane, Grey Cell Green, Incubus, Missing Joe...and lots more...I'm looking forward to putting some time into this band...(and boy does it take lots 'o time) :) it should be fun! well that's it for now, peace and the colour green...

Kimbo "God" Winter
Hmm. I am 16 and I am Kim. Some people call me God. I don't know why...there was some specific reason, but it was over a year ago that that whole thing started and I can't really remember anymore. Oh well. Um. I enjoy cheese. Immensely. I also enjoy writing...if I couldn't write, I would certainly be lost. Yessssssss. The same would happen if I lost the ability to play guitar and to make nifty song-amajigs. Much suckage would abound. Musical influence thingys, you ask? 311, Incubus, Taproot, Grey Cell Green, Rane, Pearl-ish Jam (without the -ish, though)...I'm starting to draw a blank so I'll stop now. Anyway, I hope we can get this thing together cuz it is one of my dreams (besides becoming a mad scientist and best-selling author), and I look forward to making some sperfendicular music, I truly truly do. WOO! (Rhyme!)
Matt "Mopete" Peterson Alight here’s my story. My names Matt but everyone calls me MoPete, which I like better. I’m 15 but will be 16 in august, which I guess makes me the youngest in the band. I go to Rockville High School and play drums there in all kinds of bands. My drum set is in Vernon, Ct which also happens to be were I live, what a coincidence. I live for playing the drums and drum for life. Purple monkey dishwasher. I’m in to most kinds of music but am most attracted to bands like Dry Kill Logic, Metallica, and of course the Red Hot Chili Peppers with my idol Chad Smith. So now that you heard my story you be the critic.
