History
The Toilet Böys formed in 1995 and their first show was as opening act for Debbie Harry, who performed with her own band at the rock club Don Hill's in New York City.[7] They were not formed as a backing band for Deborah Harry as has been published and believed.
Toilet Böys lead singer Miss Guy (who was house-DJ at the club)[2] formed the band to fulfill a dream of playing a show with Harry, one of his idols, just for one night. He put together a band specifically for this occasion, and it was only intended to be a one-time performance. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with the result being the booking of Toilet Böys for several additional gigs. Within a year and a half, the Toilet Böys line-up had solidified.[8]
After their break up in 2003, Sean and Rocket formed the group Afterparty. Sean, under the name Chopper,[9] performed his normal guitar duties as well as being the band's lead singer.
The band announced a temporary reunion in 2016 and released a two-part compilation "Rock 'n Roll Whores: The Best of Toilet Boys, Vol. 1" and "Nothing to Lose: The Best of Toilet Boys, Vol. 2", and also a new single with Boy George "The Last Breath of the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Love Affair".[10]
