This Saturday, April 26, Quietus favourites Toy will be playing Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The gig will be the first of a massive touring run, with the London five-piece heading to the U.S. immediately after, before taking in a number of festival appearances over the summer. If the prospect of catching the band before they head across the pond isn’t enough to entice you, the excellent support line-up of Death In Vegas man Richard Fearless playing a DJ set and live performances from Pye Corner Audio and Proper Ornaments should do. Tickets are available via promoters Eat Your Own Ears’ website, but we have a pair to give away to one reader – to be in with a chance of winning, just send your answer to the following question to comps@thequietus.com, with ‘TOY’ in the subject line.
Q: One of Toy’s band members is named after a type of bear, but which type?
A. Grizzly
B. Panda
C. Polar
D. Spectacled
