San Toy are an alternative/rock/reggae five piece from Govan, Glasgow. We don't claim to sound different from everyone else, we only try to be as original and keep our music as true to our own expressions as we can. started out as a group of friends getting together for a jam. By 2005 we had a line up ready to write and record our own material . Initially we wrote more than 20 songs which we whittled down to 11 for our live set and album. 2006 saw us take to the road whilst recording the tracks for our first album. We had 2 songs distributed on itunes and some other digital music sites in 2007. After extensive gigging in 2007 it led us to a support slot for Jerry Dammers (specials)at the Glasgow Arches. Unfortunately, our bass player left at the end of 2007 which resulted in us having difficulties completing our first album. 2008 saw us back in the studio with a new bassist writing and recording new material which we are currently showcasing live around the uk. 2009 saw us with a headline slot at the firegathering festival and an appearence at the southside festival glasgow under our belt . we are currently in the studio recording our long awaited first album due for release at the end of the year. Our main influences are Pink Floyd, Men at Work, Bob Marley ,Scheme, ub40, Verve, Ozric Tentacles, Cinematic Orchestra, Rage against the Machine, Neil Young and Led Zep.
