Biography

Universal Motown Records' indie icons Shiny Toy Guns have reached the #1 spot on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart this week with their acclaimed debut album We Are Pilots. The mercurial foursome, who have enjoyed a 12-week run on the influential chart, have been desibed as everything from 'glam-goth-new wave-chic' to 'electronic mash-up with a dance floor destroyer,' thanks to their riveting new single "Le Disko." The playful dance-anthem has been heating up radio and clubs, soaring up the charts and most recently featured as single of the week on iTunes' playlist.

The band has also been invited to spread their unique brand of electro-thrash at one of the year's premier industry music conferences, 2007's Midem Conference Opening Gala in Cannes, France on January 21. The group then heads to even headier atmosphere - Park City, Utah - for a special performance at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25. Shiny Toy Guns returns to earth on January 27 for a show in Detroit, Michigan, appearing in sanctified rock territory - Cleveland, Ohio - on January 28.

For all you 'silver shadow believers' out there, Shiny Toy Guns are vocalist Carah Faye Charnow, guitarist Gregori Chad Petree - whom one UK itic hailed as having the best moniker in indie rock - Jeremy Dawson (synthesizer), and Mike Martin (drums).
