Marvelous Toy. Finally. Finally. Finally. Amen. At last, after an exhausting day, I made it a point not to miss them at Spaceland. I have this habit of missing this band’s shows. Not last night. And let me tell you I was fired up to listen to Marvelous Toy.

What a treat. And can I tell you that listening to Marvelous Toy do their thing live, made me think back to how I initially learned about Marvelous Toy’s music, via their Myspace. It just does not do justice for Marvelous Toy.  Its good, don’t get me wrong, their album is really good. But listening to them live is totally great.  Their sound is massive on stage, engaging its audience with a little sense of pulsating beauty and love to every dam note.  And so rich lyrically. Dam.  Once their set begins, its like they understood I needed something special last night. Right to my core and moved me to a thunderous drum rhythm, they grabbed a hold of me and did not let go until their set ended. And a little beyond that. Finally, the schedule aligned and I was just a fan in the audience at Spaceland to one of our favorite bands at Loudvine.com.

Marvelous Toy was two keyboards, bass, drums, toying with you last night, and the entire packed Spaceland crowd on this chilly LA night enjoyed every ounce of it. Marvelous Toy warmed me up, to my very being, tickling my every sense of the feel good part of my musical senses, and I did not want their music to let go of me last night. Marvelous Toy has a fun, and monstrous sound on stage. From a folk twang to rock and beyond, Marvelous Toy has a bit of everything on stage, but really it boils down to that live, they are absolutely wonderful.

They have the upcoming  shows at Silverlake Lounge on February 9th and February 15th at The All Star Lanes.  Go to one, got to both and you will not be disappointed. I promise!
