san toy

San Toy are an alternative/rock/reggae five piece from Govan, Glasgow. We don't claim to sound different from everyone else, we only try to be as original and keep our music as true to our own expressions as we can. starting out as a few friends in 2003 we had various members until we got a settled line up in 2005. Initially we wrote more than 20 songs which we whittled down to 11 for our live set and album. 2006 saw us take to the road whilst recording the tracks for our first album. We had 2 songs distributed on itunes and some other digital music sites in 2007. Unfortunately, we had to annull the contract with the distribution company as it was not in the best interests of the band .After extensive gigging in 2007 it led us to a support slot for Jerry Dammers at the Glasgow Arches. 2008 saw us back in the studio writing and recording new material which we hope to showcase live in early 2009. Our main influences are Pink Floyd, Men at Work, Bob Marley ,Scheme, Verve, Ozric Tentacles, Cinematic Orchestra, Rage against the Machine, Neil Young and Led Zep.
