Next, it was a mad dash to the Electro Stage to see what this Shiny Toy Guns – Hybrid Digital was all about. Chad and Jeremy were on stage with a guitar, keyboard, pedal boards, and lots of synth playing remixed versions of popular Shiny Toy Guns tunes. While the boys played, dancers entertained…and scared the audience. There was a girl in point shoes and a guy dancing with a bare chest and leather straps, accented by a black and white mask. Next, a guy came out wearing poofy pants and a cape like shirt with leather on his chest and an expressive white facemask. He brought out the biggest white balloon I have ever seen, blew it and then put it over his face and jumped around with his face poking through as the music chanted, “go, go, go.” After it popped, which was inevitable, he threw it into the crowd. There were guys in G-stings, girls dancing with fire batons, and all kinds of entertainment. Shortly after, the scariest person I have ever seen came out in a shiny skintight outfit with feathers coming out of his head and a mask with freaky make-up. He crawled around stage and put a metal mask over his head and ran what looked like some sort of electric saw up against it creating sparks that flew and shot all over stage. I definitely saw some of the crowd step back a bit when he made awkward eye contact with them. The crowd was captivated by the STG antics and almost everyone in attendance was pointing a camera on stage. Even the girl that had obviously drank too much and was beyond suffering slumped over the fence barricade and fought through her pain to watch the set – that’s a die hard fan!
