Ok, I really like their music, but was kind of unsure what they would sound like live...So glad I went...It was AWESOME!!! Carah brought new life to older songs like Ghost Town and Ricochet! Don't miss out!
The whole show was a blast from the beginning to end of Shiny Toy Gun's excellent performance. I wouldn't hesitate to see them again. They definitely brought it and I'm rest assured the rest of the fans and I were more than satisfied that they came through even when Hurricane Sandy was nearby.
I've seen STG thrice now (once with Sisely Treasure and twice with Carah Faye) over a span of 5 years and it was worth it each time. I've seen at least 200-300+ artists live and they are without a doubt on of my top favorites. The passion behind their art and music is beyond words and they have always reached out to their fans as much as possible no matter how popular they become. Carah Faye Charnow even walked over to me after a show once after a hurt ankle to give me a hug and accept a bracelet I made for her. They are wonderful, down-to-earth people with an innovative sound and loving attitude. Go see them.
This was the 1st time I've ever seen STG & I would definitely go see them again. It was great to see them in such a small venue. They put on an entertaining show, particularly the girl bass player (Sissely Treasure, I think her name is). She was very energetic and has a nice voice. Semi Precious Weapons opened for them & they were HIGHLY entertaining. Funny songs. At one point, the vocalist came out into the crowd & carried a girl back on stage over his shoulder. Quite a feat, considering he was wearing spike heels lol.
I was so excited to see the Shiny Toy Guns in concert, until they actually got on stage. Well, Actually it was only two members that got on stage. The whole concert was pre-recorded. The female lead singer and drummer were missing. The other members only played music from their apple computer with some occasional very brief singing. And they were only on stage for 45 minutes. I paid for 2 tickets for $45 to see half the band stand in front of a computer that was blasting music. I could've just listed to my Ipod at the gym and had a more productive 45 minutes. Don't go see the band this year. Maybe next year they'll decide to tour together.
Very Disappointed is an understatement. The band Shiny Toy Guns advertised that their BAND is playing a show at the Club at Firestone. I bought my tickets and show up to discover the entire band is not playing this show and instead just have 2 guys from the band on stage cranking out techno all night long. Now these 2 guys were talented without a doubt but this was NO complete band. If I wanted to see a techno DJ war I would have gone to a RAVE INSTEAD. I am very disappointed and left feeling ripped off.
I feel jipped. I got all excited to see STG at Firestone and got a half ass show. I mean c'mon-how are you going to put on a show with half your group missing? And who remixes their own song, but don't sing the original version??? I get it. They NEVER play outside NYC. This was a big step for STG but that should be more reason to put on a worthy show. The opening act shouldn't last 2 hours at any show. The "Le Disko" dancers were not that great. Yes Jeremy D- your skills are of no question, but damn, it was not good A band SHOULD NOT be better on iTunes than they are in person.
While the idea of a Shiny Toy Guns Concert remixed seemed good in theory, in actuality it didn't work all that well. Poor mixing at the club, a delayed start, and an anti-climactic show proved to be pretty disappointing. While I wasn't unhappy I went, it was not what I had expected. No lead singer, very few vocals, and mostly a DJ set. I think that I wasn't the only one in the crowd that felt the same way, as there was a steady stream of people leaving as the set continued. Overall, a disappointing show by a band I really was excited to see.
The show was awesome. You could hear all the vocals and instruments clearly. Best live sound I've heard since Cold Play.

I felt like they picked really bad songs to play. They only played 3 or 4 off their most current album and all but 2 off their 1st album. I was really disappointed because the songs they did play weren't great. They were not my favorite songs. They did not play "Jackie Will Save Me," "Season of Love," "When Did the Storm Begin," "Money for That," "Chemistry of a Car Crash," or "I Owe You a Love Song." They did play all the songs that got any sort of radio play (Le Disko, Ghost Town, etc) and they played "Don't Cry Out," "Poison" (which is not great live), "Shaken," and "Starts with One." I thought they performed the songs they did perform well, but I feel like it was really crappy song selection. I felt really bad because I am pretty sure Sisely got sick. She didn't look so good. She did really well, but I felt bad because I could tell she didn't feel good.
