Description

What can you say about a group that takes “Banned From Argo” and turns it into a greasy roadhouse rock and roll song? That writes a love song for a Zombie? That writes a love song for a video game emulator? You say they’re Toyboat.

Take classic rock, hard edged 70’s British-style blues rock and 80’s hard rock, add filk and you have Toyboat. They play a combination of classic filk songs in a style you have never heard them done on before as well as their own SF-F songs. They mash-up filk lyrics with songs you know. Some of their songs are serious, some are funny, some are just odd. They have brought their show to conventions all over the Midwest. They have made ears ring on stages, in meetings rooms, and at room parties. Individually, the members of the band have played at conventions, filk circles, coffee houses, clubs and basements all over the US. There is no safe minimum distance. Do not panic, do not try to run. Just repeat after me… Toyboat… Toyboat… Toyboat…

Southern Fried Filk Charity Effort

Filker and actor Michael Liebmann passed away on July 26, 2016, due to complications from surgery. He was a native New Yorker who had lived in New York, in California and finally in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a graduate of California State University with a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Business Administration (Accounting suboption). He worked as a legal secretary. He was also a veteran, having served in the United States Navy from 1979 to 1984.

Additionally, he was instrumental in starting GAFilk, a filking convention in the Atlanta area which has been going on since 1999, and he was known as a vendor of filk and Celtic music at local highland games and Celtic festivals.
