Biography
Core of the group were the two guitar players, Lizard-Johnny and Antony. Two close friends who tried to impose a very personal sound through their first band, "Psychotic Riders" (April '92).
In the summer of '93 they join "Headquake" for a little while. A really important step as thanks to Leo's active participation-assistance the first stuff of the band is set in. - Christmas '93: They get in touch with the drummer Pantelis. His passion for "Cream" is considered by Lizard-Johnny enough to allow him to join the band. - Easter '94: Nick, the fifth member comes along. He is considered as one of the most precise singers in the "area". - Summer '94: "Jesus Toy" and their fuzzed guitars haunt "Sierra Studios". "Search" and "Loss" are recorded, two songs born out of psychedelic excess. - September - October '94: Dionisis on vocals and Gabriel on bass, previously experienced in "Zodiac Trip" and "Serpent" respectively, step in to give the group its final shape. - December 1st, '94: "An Club". "Jesus Toy" open the gig as guests of "Nonmandol" and "Vise Versa". They make a strong impression on both audience and critics. Offers for recording a 7' maxi single arise. After two more shows as guests of "Nightstalker", "Dirty Saints" and "Headquake" (Jan 18 and Feb 19) they give a massive performance at "Camel Move" alongside "Last Drive" (Feb 25) and earn really good reviews from Greek music fanzines and magazines. Summer '95:"Draw my dreams" and "Stoned city" are recorded live at "111" studios. "Jesus Toy", experimented both with sound and spirit that period but personal and musical differences lead them to disband. Jesus Toy were mostly a massive performance live band, with many gigs alongside rock bands such as Last Drive, Nightstalker, Rocking Bones, Deus X Machina, etc. Hold your breath for "Draw my dreams" and "Stoned city". "JESUS TOY" probably the first stoner rock band in Greece! |
