London based TOY formed when Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong disbanded in 2009. Original members Dominic O’Dair, Maxim ‘Panda’ Barron and Tom Dougall joined forces with Charlie Salvidge and Alekandra Diez to making them a five piece.
Their rock’n’roll songs distort and contort themselves to make a gloriously kaleidoscopic sound. With a sustained attack and release of ever-evolving psychedelia, the group effortlessly meld NYC ’77 to Neu! 75 via Warp Records and Detroit scuzzball rock.
TOY’s self titled debut album was released late 2012 through Heavenly Recordings / Cooperative Music, with the first single ‘Left Myself Behind’ selling out of the initial pressing upon the first day of its release. Having found fans in The Horrors, TOY were invited join them on their last UK tour with The Horrors call them ”the most exciting band to come out last year”. The band have also supported Primal Scream as well as a performance at the UK’s Field Day Festival.
Toy are in Australia this week with shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney and thanks to Handsome Tours we have 2 x double passes to give away to the following shows:
