Nevada Tan is a NuMetal/Crossover band from Germany. The six members are all between 21 and 22 years old. The band was formed in 2002 as Panik by David Bonk and Timo Sonnenschein. In 2007 they changed the name to Nevada Tan and released their debut album Niemand hört dich. The name was derived from an 11 year old japanese girl who killed her classmate.
In January 2008 they changed their name back to Panik due to problems with their management and production team. The problems are described in the song “Wegweiser” which can be downloaded for free at www.panik-musik.de.
The band consists of Frank “Franky” Ziegler (vocals), David Bonk (piano/guitar), Christian Linke (bass), Timo Sonnenschein (rap), Jan Werner (DJ) and Juri Schewe (drums).
A new album is due for release during 2009.
