Sarah Hoffman, Lead Vocalist
Sarah has a powerful,
uninhibited rock-vocal delivery, and yet she knows just when a hibit is needed. Can you believe that? Performing for more than 10 years, Sarah
has appeared on national television, performed in front of 30,000 people at festivals, loves music, her friends, and tarantula spiders. Currently in high school, she seriously dreams of having a career in music. So much so, that we still can't convince her to take a driver's ed class so she can drive and we can quit carting her butt around.
Bruce Barkwill,
Drums
Nobody really knows
where this guy has been, or what he's done, but he intends to leave a
legacy. He hangs out a lot with Pat Lanips. Bruce's drumming style is best described by Marilyn Manson in a 1992
Miami interview in "New Times" during their "Spooky Kids" touring days.
"Bruce drums like four spitting cobras in a straight jacket. You
never know where or when the next strike is coming." Yeah, that's what was said. Spitting cobra. Just hold that in your mind a few minutes.
Chet Honeycutt, Guitars/BG vocals
Chet hails from North
Carolina and is a graduate of the Berkley School of Music. He's been with
the band since the start and plays the guitar like it's part of his anatomy. Chet considers surfing at the beach to be mankind's
second best reward for a week of hard labor. If you want to know what the best reward is, you'll have to ask him. We won't mention it here.
Clayton Bush,
Guitars/BG vocals
Clayton eats, breathes
and sleeps music, which is why he's so skinny. Yet, he still finds time for his education and social life. Being a musician, he has a lot of time for that. With years of guitar experience, great attention to detail, and an ear for
the sound of modern music, he doesn't lose track of its historical roots. This is our attempt to make Clayton seem much older than he really is. Regardless, he still exemplifies where great musicians come from and kicks ass on guitar. So there.
Richard Bassil, Bass/BG
vocals. We don't have a picture of Richard because he doesn't appear in film or mirrors, and avoids bright lights. He's seeing a doctor about that. We can tell you though he went to high school with Bob Seger and has played with some of the best musicians and song writers in the world, so yeah, he's been around the block and is our "senior" member. We call him cooty man. You figure it out from there.
Pat Lanips. He is everywhere we are. We don't have a picture of him either because he's always somewhere else looking for knobs that go to eleven. :)
Other musicians that have performed with us:
Rick
McCauley, Daniel Grey, Rey Cortes, Pink Suit, Mi J

Influences
Great music of all styles from the past and present.
Our song "Anyway" from our album "Distant Garden" was nominated for Best College Rock song by the Just Plain Folks (www.jpfolks.com) 2009 music awards. There were 42K albums with 560K songs submitted for award consideration, and in our category, there were 23 other nominees. Just getting nominated with all the hundreds of thousands of songs submitted is a huge honor and is really mind blowing. On August 29th 2009, the award show was held at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, Tenn. The top six of the 24 nominees were announced from the stage. Our song Anyway placed 3rd, with Michael Logen taking the top spot for the song Mystery. Congratulations to Michael!
The Misfit Toys is a Gainesville, Florida band, with decades of combined musicianship. Our songs are mostly original in a modern pop/rock style, with a touch of other genres heard in many of the songs. Listen to our music, and you'll hear what we mean.
Our debut CD, "Distant Garden," was recorded over a period of nine months and reflects the different moods and styles of the band. It was produced, engineered and mixed by Lucio Rubino (Story Side B), and mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in New York city.

Clear Channel owns over 1,000 radio stations across the US, and any Clear Channel radio station program director can play music that is on the Clear Channel music website. Songs that get a lot of play on their website have a better chance at getting traditional radio airplay.
So help us out! Please go to our Clear Channel song page and listen to "Anyway" as often as you can, and also tell your friends.
Thank you guys so much! :D
