About Me

THE WICKED IDEAS THAT I COULD'VE HAD
hey hey we're the panics..!
Christopher Menzies writes most of the songs and all of the lyrics. He sings and plays mostly acoustic guitar. His previous band was called "halle"
Tony Dalton is very tall and usually very sleepy. When he's not asleep, he's a truly brilliant guitar player. He thinks he doesn't write songs until you beat them out of him; and even then he only reluctantly agrees...
We've been writing and rehearsing for about 2-3 years now, Tony and Christopher are playing acoustic gigs, but really just focusing on recording new songs at home (then studio). The last demo album had some great local reviews, and a national review in Scotland's best read tabloid, the "Daily Record". The album tracks have been played by Graeme Ogston on his "Weekender" show on Tay FM radio. We are currently alive. Christopher is just really mince at changing anything on myspace. Really mince. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
