PHIL SAUNDERS THE BAND

Imagine Graham Coxon or Frank Turner jamming with Weezer!? Imagine that.
“If you’ve ever got the last train home having watched a band play in front of less than ten people, or carried an amp, or handed out flyers, or slept in the back of a transit with a cymbal bag for a pillow, I guarantee you will find something about this record to fall in love with. Mr. Saunders has one thing that 99.9% of people releasing music don’t have: He’s the real deal. 9/10″ Die Shellsuit Die
TOYGER
http://www.myspace.com/toygerband
Playing only their second ever gig, Toyger are a brilliant math-pop band influenced by the likes of Colour, Toe, Bombay Bicycle Club, And So I Watch You From Afar, LITE, Enemies and Tubelord. Already a firm favourite of BBC Introducing’s Bob Fischer, big things are expected from this bunch in the coming months!
All ages. Strictly no alcohol!
There’ll be a few single use disposable cameras kicking around, so feel free to take some of your own snaps and then hand them in to the bands at the end of the gig. Feel free to film it all on your phone too and upload it to vimeo or youtube or whatever when you get home!
