Toydeath
Have you had the good fortune to randomly experience the slightly deranged delightfulness that is Toydeath? If not, it’s time to go see Toydeath on purpose. It’ll probably be just as good as seeing them by accident… or maybe even better.
Making music with toys and toy instruments is the kind of thing that can go one way or the other. In the case of Toydeath, it goes the GOOD way.
In their own words:
Toydeath use childrens electronic toys to create music you have never heard before! Thats right we only use toys! We have collected an arsenal of toys to make any kindergarten green with envy. You will hear talking George Bush, Jesus, Barbie Dolls, Speak and Spells, Rock Guitars, Sax-a-booms, Toy Telephones and lots of other fantastic Toys! Toydeath have also collected toys from their international tours and use Chinese, Dutch, German and Japanese language toys in our set.
Oh, also… don’t make them mad ’cause their hands get all swollen and green. Not sure what that’s about. Must have come in contact with some sort of toxic radiation during childhood…
