You should send the red arrows a tape mate, their display could've been arranged to your tunes. Worked for us! See ya Thursday 16th.
Tim Wood

Tim Wood For me, the highlight of last year's IOW festival was dancing barefoot in the Strongbow tent. This year, me and my friend Kate decided to go back and do the same thing. Whilst dancing shoeless in the tent we saw this group performing and we were bewitched! Not even the Red Arrows and their aerial acrobatics could draw us away from this performance!

Kate Taylor I was one of the few that saw & bopped along to your excellent set at the Isle of Wight. You were robbed by the timing of red arrows. (Soooooo No fair) Note your date for the Rockhouse in Derby & will try and get a posse up. Too good to miss. Most energetic & instantaneous band I have heard in a long time. Top tight guitar sound, should have been main stage...

Panthallasa combines the tight edgy prog of Secret Machines and ambient soundscapes of Boards of Canada, straddling a line between euphoric electro and 100 miles an hour straight out synth rock.
