You Are The One

Shiny Toy Guns

Mercury

WE SAY

LA –based electroclash outfit Shiny Toy Guns make an intriguing blend of synth-driven pop with brilliant boy-girl vocals. They're an act with a devoted fanbase, which they've built up by a mixture of their MySpace presence and incessant touring. They play a 36 date UK tour from next month following which they will support Fall Out Boy on their UK dates. Their debut album "We Are Pilots", a top 10 album on iTunes in the US when it was released late last year through Universal/Motown, is out here next month. Dubbed "emotronica" by Popjustice, Shiny Toy Guns have definitely hit upon the right formula. JF London Gig: 19 March Cargo EC2
