About Toxic Toast - Chicago’s BossToneS Experience
What do you do when one of your favorite bands of all time just.....disappears? Well, this group of guys from the Windy City of Chicago, Illinois took matters into their own hands. Consisting of various members of current and past bands in the Chicago scene, Toxic Toast is set to fill the void that has been left by the departure of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones from the music world. While there is only one Mighty Mighty Bosstones, this group of diehard Bosstones fans from the midwest come as close as you can get to the live show energy that 'Tones fans are used to without having Dicky, Joe and Johnny Vegas on the stage.
Comprised of Katz (ex-Drawing A Blank), Richo (ex-Jinxpack, Counterpunch), Eric (Counterpunch), Greg (ex-Drawing A Blank), Kevin, Brian and Mike (ex-The 9 Spot, Ready...Break) and our Bosstone Josh, Toxic Toast has quite a bit of collective experience performing. Hopefully this has become evident as Toxic Toast has already begun unveiling the heat on Chicago and has even gained recognition from the boys in the Bosstones themselves.
Fear not ladies and gentlemen, while the Mighty Mighty Bosstones have gone away (only for a little while, one would hope!), Toxic Toast is here to say...."The Devil Is Back, So Girls Dry Your Tears!!!"
Check out the new BOTTOM LOUNGE re-vamped sound and stage new venue GRAND OPENING!! still the home of the $3 PBR tall boys. right off the Ashland green line stop.
Yeah! I've been waiting for them to come for so long man. This is going to be my first show (the 7th) and I'm seeing them on the 8th too! Words can not express my excitement.
Katz..Hows rehearsals...? Any Toxic Toast shirts in triple fat available yet...? If I could get to shy town for the show and my birthday I'll be there..!! RK;)~
I am a DIE HARD FAN of the "Tones" Glad to see someone spread the love since they have moved on(SHAME). Hey if your guitarist ever quits PLEASE PLEASE Call me. A Bosstones tribute would be the only tribute I would do. Thanks
Hey I mentioned this in the BossToneS forums, but you guys should think about making a trip up to michigan. Not too far, and everyone would love it. Seriouslly!
OMG i think i can realistically make this show!!! especially if you're playing one of my fave bosstones tunes just for me...well, i'd like to think just for me. just flatter me and say it.
i think a big motivator for me is knowing nick and bill can't make it. ha. i'm evil.
