More Panik?

Lately David has been writing some quite strange things at Twitter. 
Some of it might hint at some news from Panik...


January:

"Gut Ding will Weile haben" and "Every good show has more than one act. So let's wait for the "prestige"" 
- if he doesn't hint at Panik getting back together, or at least David and Timo making more music as Panik, then I have to say he is not very nice or doesn't know how to express himself (which I find very unlikely) 

and then the 22nd March he wrote THIS!!:

(this is just really evil teasing if nothing is going to happen)

I don't know what is going on with him... What do you guys say?!

David's twitter

  In his description of himself:

german producer, pianist, guitar player. 2003-now member of the band Panik/Nevada Tan. Tweets in GER and ENG. Neumuenster, Sao Paulo · http://www.davidbonk.de

So apparently, there is still something called Panik, and he is still a member?!

10th Jan:
Someone asked: I miss Panik so much, any chance to see you all back together ? :) xx 

 and he answered: i miss it, too. Every good thing has an End, but every good show has more than one act. So let's wait for the 'prestige' ;-)

David on facebook:

Humm... There was a picture somewhere, with all the 6 PANIK Band members on it - how they changed their look during the years (and Timo always looked the same :-D) Can someone post this pic please? :-)

More about Athonite

Hey guys, I'm back again ;) 
So, finally the news about what David has been doing... So what do you guys think? Was it as you expected? A Totally new band, with Juri and David. And what do you think so far about what you have seen and heard?


Here is some more about the new band.


At Wacken's homepage, you can read more about David and Juri's new band.
Go take a look at the website: Wacken.com


Or read it here:

ATHONITE - Classical Music Reloaded
Great classical music with the vehemence of Metal!


Monumental, powerful, wild: Heavy Metal and classical music have never been much different in these aspects. Until now however, names like Bach, Mozart and Grieg only appealed to concertgoers of the quieter kind. This will change with ATHONITE, a project led by David Bonk which is bravely and radically reinterpreting classical music, turning the old master‘s works into Metal pieces, pairing electrial guitars with Bach and doublebass drums with Brahms.


It took more than two years for highly talented pianist David Bonk to rewrite and expand traditional compositions, turning them into high class headbanging material: Two guitars, bass and drums with piano and violine, alongside a huge orchestra and choir - this is the connection between the power of Heavy Metal and the greatness of classical music. Metal fans have heard this combination before, but very rarely did it sound this virtuos and energetic.


Bonk‘s first time sitting at a piano was at age three. After that he learned many other instruments, basically all he could get his hands on. Classically trained, but with both feet firmly planted in the rock world, he nowadays is producing national and international artists, including metal bands.


But rest assured: The high level of musicianship in ATHONITE does not supress the Rock‘n‘Roll spirit. Regardless of the complex riffage, not every note is written down and fixed for eternity. This will be clearly evident on stage, augmented by a huge pyro and laser show.


ATHONITE will celebrate their stage debut on Aug 3rd at this year‘s Wacken:Open:Air.

(Thank you to Anonymous in the comments on the last post)

Alvina Fenyuk (who we expect is part of the band?)


It doesn't say much about her, on her website, but have a look: http://www.alvinafenyuk.de/
Or take a look at her facebook. Anyway, you can find a lot of photos of her.

David's new band!!

Earlier today, David broke the news of having a new band.
Twitter/Facebook: "My New Band. http://www.athonite.de/ "


On the website, all you can see is a picture of David, the information for Wacken AND a youtube video:


The members of the band that were confirmed in the youtube tags are David, Juri and Alvina Fenyuk. So what do you guys think?

David facebook update

"Pracroom Picture :-)"

Some big, massive news.

Hi guys! It's Jess here, if you all remember me. I use to help Line when she's not able to update, which is where we've come to now.
I'm a bit confused myself, seeing as I just came home from my own vacation, but it seems like there's some kind of big, fat reunion (or something like that).


As you may have read earlier, David wrote on his facebook that he was going to perform on Wacken Open Air, and now he's preparing and rehearsing for the gig. Yesterday (July 21st) posted this on his twitter:

 "I ll perform at Wacken, together with Juri. We ll post a trailer soon, made by Timo. Uh, I really love working with talented people :-)"

This confirms that Juri will be performing with David and Timo will take part of it all by cutting a trailer and etc.

But as early as this Wednesday (July 18th) he posted this picture on facebook:

"Preparing for the Wacken Gig - building a new own grandpiano for me, checking in our rehearsal hall the sound of the new 3 coreblade amps and the drumset. The show is gonna be so cool! :-D"

You can see Juri in two of the pictures and you can also see Timo in the right picture.

The day after (July 19th) he posted another photo on his facebook:

"Again rehearsals today. And hey, guests are showing up :-D Or... maybe they are not only guests? Who knows..?! :-)"

Here it's not only Juri on the picture, but also Jan, Frank and their old management (to the left)

So, everyone except Linke are there now, guests or not. Nothing more have been said about it (as far as I know, you're more than welcome to tell me if you've read more from the guys) and as always, my hope of a reunion just grew a great amount.

What do you guys think, are the old management and his old bandmates only guests or is there something in the making? Feel free to comment!

David + Timo twitter update 5th March

David: Je älter wir werden, desto mehr wird zur Routine. Dadurch kommt es uns so vor, als würde die Zeit schneller vergehen
English: The older we get, the more gets to be a routine. And so, for us it seems like that time moves faster.

Timo: or: we are worrying about our future constantly, so we have no time to seize the moment. Im ill.

David: really? well, well.. If I feel myself getting ill, I simply STOP being ill, and be awesome instead. True story.

Timo: Yeeeh, ive tried, ended up with chips and a headache in front of a lame movie bout a gay Tin Tin and an Unicornboat.

David: you say "a" Unicorn. Not "an" Unicorn. :-D

Timo: did i mention i have a headache?

David: twice, already. me too, was triggered by starwars p3. I'm about to set a new distance record for projectile vomiting. :-D

Timo: Dont forget, the force will be with u, always.

David: yes, i know. have a good night. geek. :-p

Timo: To finish my geeky "5 minutes": "You r my precious."
Timo: ...not! Woooord!!!
