THUNDER IN TOYTOWN...
Thunder In Toytown...
Swillington club was quite busy on Sunday night; I had been asked to go and see a band called Thunder In Toytown.This is a four piece Mod + Brit-Pop band, guitar, bass, drums and lead vocalist.
This is not my type of music but I do appreciate the musical skills of the musicians and the great voice o the singer. A couple of songs I recognised were, ‘Eton Rifles’ and ‘Tube Station’ though I had to ask the title of the second one.There had been a band festival outside the club during the day with the Thunder in Toytown playing at night. The occasion was a fundraising charity show in aid of the ‘Ben Manning Foundation’which raised a fair amount of money.
Thunder in Toytown was formed in 1999 by Bass Player Mark to bring a different type of music to the
scene instead of the same old rock covers and Thin Lizzy bands, they split in 2001, they were seen as controversial playing covers that had never been heard before in pubs. Now they are back with a stronger line up than ever, Mark on blistering Bass riffs, Kev on Guitars, Lorne on the vocals and Rick on Drums and the same message, you do not have to listen to the same old rock covers every week.
