Los Angeles, California, United States (2002 – present)
Shiny Toy Guns is an alternative/electronic band which formed in 2002 in Los Angeles, California, United States. The band consists of Carah Faye Charnow (vocals), Chad Petree (vocals, guitar), Jeremy Dawson (synth, bass), Daniel Johansson (guitar, synth, bass) and Mikey Martin (drums).
Chad Petree and Jeremy Dawson grew up in Oklahoma and were involved in previous music projects together, including the soundtrack for the videogame Grand Theft Auto III in 2000 and Cloud2ground. After relocating to Los Angeles, California in 2004, the two recruited vocalist Carah Faye Charnow and drummer Mikey Martin.
Their debut album, We Are Pilots was originally released in January 2005, though versions of the album featuring different cover art and tracklisting would be released later the following year. Three singles were issued: “Le Disko”, “You Are The One” and “Rainy Monday”. We Are Pilots received a Grammy Award nomination on 6 December 2007 in the category of Best Electronic/Dance Album, but lost to The Chemical Brothers.
The band’s second studio album, Season Of Poison, was released on 4th November 2008, with Sisely Treasure as vocalist. They have released two singles from their second album: “Ghost Town” and “Ricochet!”.
In 2009, Shiny Toy Guns released “Major Tom”, a Peter Schilling cover.
In 2011, Carah Faye Charnow returned to Shiny Toy Guns. In addition, Charnow’s husband, Daniel Johannson also joined the band on guitar, synth and bass.
In March 2011, the band released a new single “The Sun”, available to download for free.

I feel kinda upset because Le Disko is the top track, not a bad song at all, but not their best imo.
