Add to calendar

ATTENTION!!!!!! Put the Turkey in the oven sometime early Wednesday November 25th evening on about 200. The biggest party night of the year just broke OFF THE HOOK!!!! "EMILY'S TOYBOX" is playing Thanksgiving eve at the RACEHORSE TAVERN!!!. Ain't no way in hell your cooking Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday because we're all gonna get BASTED ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR SURE!!!!!! Add one part irreverent punk personality (frontman extraordinaire, Mike Wise), one part maniacal guitarist (Brandon Reece), two parts dream rhythm section (Rick Lienhard and Muff) and what do you get? One hell of a rock and roll ass-whoopin' you won't soon forget! Emily's ToyBox cannot (even remotely) be compared to any other independent band on the east coast. In addition to a genuinely unique and powerful stage presence, they have sold more CDs and merchandise during their career than any other independent band in the extended area. However, unlike other bands making similar "claims", this band actually has the tax and sales records to prove it. Mike Wise, ETB's lead singer and chief songwriter, formed the group in 1997, conceiving it as a pre-fab project that would only be around long enough to pay off bills from his previous band. Formerly a 3-piece, ETB went on to an illustrious career, quickly working their way out of their day jobs, making rounds on the extended Mid-Atlantic circuits, venturing as far as Illinois, Vermont and Florida, playing a thick catalog of in-the-red originals. Hard work and dedication have never been lacking from the Emily’s ToyBox psyche. "We're different," says Wise. "Many bands have said, 'Well, my band's different.' We're one of the few bands who really ARE different." "The four of us are naturally goofballs, but we honestly respect one another as musicians and people. We also don't 'try' to do or be anything other than ourselves. Our personality comes out onstage and in our songs." $10.00 COVER
