We couldn't quite explain who we were... but thanks to one of our fans, now we can:
“A Rag Doll, a Marionette, a Shadow Puppet, and a Wind-Up Toy make up this independent band, appropriately named The Antique Toys.
Armed with creative lyrics, a powerful vocalist, an electronic sound, live instruments, and a certain, anonymity, The Antique Toys is blending familiar sounds from bands of the late 80s and early 90s with a digital twist.
Drawing from a healthy mix of eclectic music, the Toys have been influenced by a long list of bands such as OMD, Depeche Mode, the Cure, David Bowie, Shiny Toy Guns, Postal Service and Radiohead.
From this collection to draw from, The Toys have developed a variety of sounds, but every one of their songs carry an emotion that is clear to many of their fans.
They tell real stories from their past, and from their hearts. Their music has been inspiring to many, which as Toys, should be the case. We all had favorite toys growing up, and still have some now. The feeling of joy and hope they bring to us is what The Antique Toys brings to people in their music..."
Thanks pg.
Hey Toys, Sounds like an awsome time. Looking forward to some new things. I might even get around to posting a new chapter in the story. Maybe even two. Thanks again for being so cool. Emz.
Hey Toys, Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I've been traveling so I haven't had a chance to get on until now. I hope everything is good with you guys. You're still the coolest band ever. Keep rockin the airwaves. Emz
— Love hinders death. Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.Leo Tolstoy
Thanks for the comments. I was actually thinking of putting them in a toy chest or on a shelf. Maybe that will be my next project. Can't wait to see the artwork. Emz
Toys, I finished the picture today. There a two pictures of it in my photo album if you want to check it out. Keep in mind that it was done with a pin and pencil. I wish I could have made it look better. I hope you enjoy the picture. Emz

Hey Toys, I wanted to get the invite to you sooner. Sorry it didn't happen. Now I have time to finish up the story and write some more lyrics. I'm still looking forward to all that you have in store for us. Emz
