Toto & the Bad Eggs – Wallet Droppin’ EP
Sometimes things are lo-fi because people like to use old equipment, sometimes because they just prefer the sound, and sometimes because, as seems to be the case here, the whole business was thrown together quickly as a bit of a lark.
This is whatever you’d a call a combination of supergroup, side project, imaginary band and a bit of good-natured fucking around. Ben and Mark from Brown Brogues join Luke from Sex Beet and Jerry Tropicano for a what turned out to be a weekend of writing and recording, and this is what came out of it: an EP of improvised vocals and rough garage rock riffs. Splendid.
Its provenance suggests it’s not something to be taken too seriously but, second song Trendy apart, this is actually a bloody good listen. The whole EP is downloadable for free from Bandcamp, so you can try it for yourself.

Thanks for this one. Sounds good.
That’s some, er, interesting cover art.
Maybe reference to the ‘bad eggs’.
