Toy Love was a New Zealand new wave/punk rock band. ==History== Front man was Chris Knox and other members were guitarist Alec Bathgate, bass player Paul Kean, drummer Mike Dooley, and keyboard player Jane Walker. The band developed out of the earlier punk band The Enemy from Dunedin, New Zealand, and are often regarded as the progenitors of the Dunedin Sound movement.〔Stranded In Paradise, New Zealand Rock and Roll 1955 to the Modern Era, J. Dix, Penguin, 2005, ISBN 0-14-301953-8, Chapter 25〕 Toy Love were together for less than two years (1978–80) and spent a large part of that time in Australia. They released just one (self-titled) album, however the band members were apparently appalled by the mixing of the tracks which took the edge off the band's deliberately raw sound. Allmusic gave the album a 3/5 rating.〔"(''Toy Love'' Review )", Allmusic, retrieved 11 May 2012.〕 In April 2005, this album was remastered and released along with a bunch of demos and unreleased tracks as a double CD entitled ''Cuts''. After Toy Love broke up, Bathgate and Knox remained together as the Tall Dwarfs. In 2012, the band was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame and given the Legacy Award at the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toy Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
