Shiny Toy Guns
Shiny Toy Guns is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2002. The band comprises guitarist/vocalist Chad Petree, vocalist/bassist/keyboardist Carah Faye Charnow, keyboardist/bassist Jeremy Dawson, and drummer Mikey Martin.
Their first studio album, We Are Pilots (2006), had three singles peak inside the top 30 in the Alternative Songs Chart and was nominated for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 50th Grammy Awards. Their second album, Season of Poison (2008), had two singles peak inside the top 30 in the Alternative Songs Chart.
The band was founded in 2002 by bassist and keyboardist Jeremy Dawson and vocalist and guitarist Chad Petree. Both knew each other for years growing up in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and they had worked together on previous music projects such as Cloud2Ground and Slyder. After these projects, they went underground for a brief time, and they continued making music together, eventually enlisting vocalist Carah Faye Charnow as their female vocalist and drummer Mikey Martin.
Shiny Toy Guns gained popularity in California and on the internet through networking on their MySpace page. In January 2005, they released their first album, We Are Pilots, through the record company Stormwest International. That summer, they toured the United States in support of their album. We Are Pilots was re-recorded and re-released with a revised track list through record company SideCho in November 2005. The band signed with Universal Records in June 2006 and released a third, final version of We Are Pilots on October 17, 2006.
"Le Disko" was the first single, "You Are the One" was the second single, and "Rainy Monday" was the third. However, "Don't Cry Out" was initially announced as the third single.[citation needed]
On October 29, 2007, the band appeared as "The Shinys" on the children's television series Yo Gabba Gabba!. They performed a sequence called The House of Spooks. We Are Pilots received a Grammy Award nomination on December 6, 2007, in the Best Electronic/Dance Album category but lost to The Chemical Brothers.
In August 2008, it was revealed that Carah Faye Charnow was no longer part of the band and had been replaced by Sisely Treasure, whose vocals are featured on the band's second album, Season of Poison. Carah Faye Charnow pursued a new band, Versant, in Sweden. Season of Poison was released through Universal Records on November 4, 2008.
On September 2, 2008, "Ricochet!" was released as the first single. It hit No. 17 on the Alternative Songs Chart, the highest the band has ever reached with a single on the Alternative Songs chart. Shiny Toy Guns released their second Season of Poison single, "Ghost Town," on January 30, 2009, which peaked at No. 26 on the Alternative Songs Chart.
