From ROBO CAST 24 - DO ROBOTS DREAM OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC?

ROBO's view - Time to let the Toys out of the box!! Quality querky original electropop from the LA. A breath of electronic fresh air. We love it.

Melancholy - goes "Tra La La"
Cadence - goes "Blip Beep Blip and a little tra la la"
Crimson - goes "Twing Twang Twing and a little tra la la"
Raconteur - goes "a-b-c-d-e-f-g and a little twing twan twing"
Porcelain - will always be a Toy

We couldn't quite explain who we were... but thanks to one of our fans, now we can:
“A Rag Doll, a Tin Soldier, a Marionette, and a Shadow Puppet make up this independent band, appropriately named The Antique Toys. Armed with creative lyrics, a powerful vocalist, an electronic sound, live instruments, and a certain, anonymity, The Antique Toys is blending familiar sounds from bands of the late 80s and early 90s with a digital twist. Drawing from a healthy mix of eclectic music, the Toys have been influenced by a long list of bands such as OMD, Depeche Mode, the Cure, David Bowie, Shiny Toy Guns, Postal Service and Radiohead. From this collection to draw from, The Toys have developed a variety of sounds, but every one of their songs carry an emotion that is clear to many of their fans. They tell real stories from their past, and from their hearts. Their music has been inspiring to many, which as Toys, should be the case. We all had favorite toys growing up, and still have some now. The feeling of joy and hope they bring to us is what The Antique Toys brings to people in their music..." Thanks pg.




 

Dear Antique Toy Collectors,

 

Spring falls upon us this melting hour

The dust blown, our backs wound

Playing for you on our own power -

A pinch of bounce, a hint of sound

Blossoms the rusty flower.

 

It's not long now 'til the red curtain spreads

Splitting the soft glow -

Another side of our toy box read

Side by side with the demo beau

Dubbed "C" playing in your head.

 

When the gibbous moon

Shines its beacon part

Then our time is boon

Beginning with a start

Our music to be played soon.
