Down the Bible Belt with Brooklyn's BOYTOY

Right after Brooklyn band BOYTOY played our show at The Gateway last November, they toured down the east coast of the Bible Belt, stopping in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. Since we couldn't get enough of them, we gave them a camera and two rolls of film to capture all the madness. Listen to their tunes as you take a peek below.

Drew at Transduction Studios. We had a slumber party and he showed us his toggles. Athens, GA.

Stay thirsty.

It was Glenn's first time throwing an ax and she kept hitting bullseyes. If there's a zombie apocalypse we're following her. Charlotte, NC.

Phil Gripper, the mayor of Charlotte (and our hearts).

Saara serving it somewhere outside of Durham, NC.

We had a rule that we could each take only a single stage outfit on tour. The plan was to thrift down the country instead, hoping shit would get weird and someone would end up in a Statue of Liberty costume or something. We stumbled into UNIQUE, the hottest high fashion outlet in greater Washington, DC.

Have you read Steven Tyler's twitter?

Sleep deprived at a roadside diner in the middle of Virginia. We walked in and their radio was blasting "Bodak Yellow" to a room full of dining senior citizens.

"New whip. Who dis?"

Motel morning. Staunton, VA.

Mingling with the locals at a flea market somewhere in Virginia.

Glenn's favorite soup in Winston-Salem.

There was a chocolate shop next to the venue in Winston-Salem. We were starving and ate too many free samples. Sarah Palin got real hyper and made a scene.

Chase & Saara were trying to teach Palin how to play cornhole. Saara showed her a technique that she initially refused to try. When she finally did, she got it RIGHT IN THE HOLE, first attempt. Here’s Palin, bummed that Saara was right. Can’t be mad at the sunset though.
