DRILL: LONDON: Toy + Wire

For the fourth show in the 'Drill: London' series curated by post-punk legends Wire and leftfield music website The Quietus, heavy psych-rock quintet Toy headline. Scowling like the Stones, burning through krautrock grooves, OMD-like synth ballads and Hawkwindian riffs, and taking tips from the noisy rush of Ride and My Bloody Valentine, Toy were one of the best live bands of 2012. They're joined by some 'special secret guests' – festival curators Wire, who said they fancied supporting a rising band rather than vice versa!
