    Brokentoyz, originally a Motley Crue cover band, expanded to wide variety of hair metal. Drummer filled in for Tommy Lee when he was hurt once too. They still do a couple shows a year, and available to hire for private parties.

    I knew you’d say that haha. Yes, they are awesome - like a steel panther lite.

    Ya that’s considered classic rock these days. No other cover band I’ve seen comes close. Have yet to find any good 60s and 70s classic rock cover bands locally.

    Brokentoyz are awesome!


    Saw them a couple of times (2012?/2014) when I was in town for work. They played every Thursday back then (I think).

    Funny, been listening to a lot of Elvis lately, particularly his catalog of blues songs.

    Brokentoys is solid for sure. BC/DC? They're a good time.

    Yea bc dc is awesome too. Not local but close enough. I’d argue bc dc’s singing is better live than AC/DC. Brian Johnson is brutal live the several times I’ve seen them, plus YouTube.

    I really like these guys but a little too expensive for what I want to pay.
