Philly indie-party-rock band Toy Soldiers are coming to a town near you with pals from NC, Holy Ghost Tent Revival. Philly fans know them well, as they just won "INDIE
ROCK BAND OF THE YEAR" at the Tri State Indie Awards. Now it's time
for the rest of you to know them as well. They are hitting the road with a
batch of new material for their upcoming album
The Maybe Boys.
For the Philadelphia stop, fans will get to see the premier of the Toy Soldiers tour film The Maybe Trails by Seth Klinger
2013 will see the beginning of a new chapter, with the Fall release of their second full-length, entitled The Maybe Boys. The album was recorded with producer Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man) and bridges the gap between all of their previous efforts, combining the group's earnest and eclectic songwriting style with the explosive energy of their live show.
Named one of the “Top Bands to Watch in 2013” by USA Today, Toy Soldiers’ have no intention of slowing their roll as they move ahead into the year, continuing to spread the music and inevitable good times.

Toy Soldiers – a lively &
hard-working band formed in 2007 by frontman Ron Gallo, started out as just a
duo, fluctuated between a cast of upwards of 12 players, then eventually
settled into a solid 5-piece who love a good song and dance with no pretense or
wall between the band and audience (as members often times ending up in the
crowd). The group, consisting of Gallo (lead vocals, guitar), Dominic Billett
(drums), Bill McCloskey (bass), Matt Kelly (guitar), and Luke Leidy (keys),
spent most of 2012 playing hundreds of shows up and down the East Coast and in
their hometown of Philadelphia, tearing through dive bars, festival stages and
even theaters with their soulful brand of rock n' roll music.
2013 will see the beginning of a new chapter, with the Fall release of their second full-length, entitled The Maybe Boys. The album was recorded with producer Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man) and bridges the gap between all of their previous efforts, combining the group's earnest and eclectic songwriting style with the explosive energy of their live show.

To celebrate this new tour, we have a Ticket Giveaway Contest at Club Cafe in Pittsburgh, my favorite venue in my hometown! Ironically, I first saw the Toy Soldiers winning tickets via WXPN here in Philadelphia. Now is your turn!
Here's the deal. On Facebook, (depending on your privacy restrictions), you can either type this phrase on your page or the Root Down in the Shadow page;
"Hey Root Down In The Shadow my favorite Philadelphia band is ________ and I'm looking forward to having a new favorite once I see Toy Soldiers at Club Cafe
If I can't see it on my Root Down page, you aren't officially entered in the contest.
One entry per person, but if you post this on your friends pages and they enter... maybe they'll enter and take you with them!
