Toys in the Attic

About Me

In 1990 an idea spawned to form a band that payed homage to the American music icons "Aerosmith". At the time, Aerosmith was going through a period of transition, almost losing their existence to drugs and alcohol. In an effort to break the chains that bounded them, they were in recording studio's creating and preparing for the most incredible comeback in music industry history.Meanwhile, in Cincinnati, OH, a well known gentleman in the music business, named Rudi Szlavi, brain-stormed an idea for a showband that payed homage to what was at the time, the legendary American band who had formed a style and sound all their own and left a permanent mark on music history.After several months of searching and auditioning musicians throughout the Northeast and Midwest, a single lead vocalist was found in Upstate New York with a shocking resemblance to Steven Tyler. Not only did he physically resemble the performer, but his singing voice merited the same screaming demons of Tyler himself. This was incredible to see and hear.Under a year of guidance and management of Rudi Szlavi, where the band of New Yorkers and Ohioans gigged to test the waters, they decided to dedicate their name in honor of Aerosmith's 1975 best-selling album, "TOY'S IN THE ATTIC".And, thus, they began a long history of their own, travelling around the United States and Canada : performing in thousands of clubs and concert venues, while forging a name for themselves.Proving to be the most incredible showband of it's kind, they toured extensively ! Entertaining crowds of Aerosmith fans & audiences around the country.The show is all Aerosmith from beginning to end. The band looks AND sounds like the famous rock legends. The lead vocalist looks so much like Steven Tyler, it scary.See and hear the true raw sounds of Aerosmith as "TOY'S IN THE ATTIC" perfom the band's biggest hits of all time.
