Mark White, Jason Simmons & Sam Edmisten were all a part of a recording project with Scott Shook (Guitarist/producer/engineer) and Ryan Bowman(drums)back in 2005-2007. 
Earlier this year Jason and Mark contacted Sam about getting together and doing some more songwriting and recording together. The results can be heard here... as well as some of the tunes we worked on nearly a decade ago. Enjoy!

I'm a multi-instrumentalist/songwriter who plays music for fun but also would like to get famous from it.  Who wouldn't right?  I own the copyrights to all of my songs.

Technically the Togaz formed in the summer of 2010, but spiritually they formed the spring of 1982 during the filming of a high school English project. (See Julius Caesar 1982)
Jon and Sam have been joined at the hip ever since like some perverse Jeremy Irons amalgam in projects including Hemp Rope Dream, The Plurals and Happy Valley Social Club. 
Through their veins pours a mixture of Dave Roth and Boba Fett as birthed upon the world by a coupling of Robert Smith and Linda Lovelace. 
When Grayson and Chris joined the team on drums and bass respectively in 2011 the mixture was complete to unleash upon the world a brand new batch of quadragenarian cock rock complete with firetrucks, hookers, comic books, guitar strings, used condoms and pyrotechnics. We are everything that our mothers ever feared we would be... and less.
For those with great big cocks: WE SALUTE YOU. 
ROCK ON!

I make music because I want to listen to it. It's way to awesome for you to get. I play all the instruments and write all the songs, except where noted. I am on a never ending quest to hear the best music I can make.
