"The Fancy Toys have mustered some impressively jaunty, craftily catchy tunes. They will find fans across a wide variety of audiences." (Metro Newspaper - 16/09/08).. ..THE FANCY TOYS' RECIPE....... ..Take 2 guys, give them some toys.., a big appetite, a vast imagination, a quirky sense of observation, a ticket to visit the world - shake them really hard, and that’s it! You get a delicious and delightfully refreshing cocktail... .. ..James Duncan and Mickaël Téo.. have been writing, playing both live and in the studio, with many artists since they were really pretty young. They have performed at some of the most prestigious venues, all over the world. .. ..With the Fancy Toys, they unleash their creativity.., challenge themselves through the use of different and unusual instruments, explore new sounds and caress various emotions and the front row! .. ..Trying to describe their style is impossible..: There is literally nothing like it. You might be able to spot a few influences here and there but these will soon whizz off somewhere else in an exciting and unusual way. .. ..The Fancy Toys live performance is a unique and unforgettable experience.., so if you haven't seen them yet, have a look at their gig diary or send us an email and we will keep you informed. .. ..Fancy Toys Command... Over and out..... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

    Hey The Fancy Toys, Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. You turn the atmosphere ablaze with currents of sweet ethylene when you smile. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. How can I help but use your eyes as a means for self-asphyxiation? The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx.
