Toehider are Australia's most prolific progressive rock act. Since forming in 2008, they have produced 14 stellar releases, attracting fans and critical praise worldwide.
After the release of their Queen/Panic at the Disco-inspired self-titled EP, singer/songwriter Michael Mills bypassed the "difficult second album syndrome" by instead releasing 12 albums in 12 months.
The "12in12" project was an unprecedented move that saw Toehider explore a vast array of musical styles and genres, earning airplay on Triple J and international radio.
In September 2011, the follow up "To Hide Her" was released, featuring the band's famously whimsical and epic pop prog.
In support of the album, Toehider were invited to tour alongside rock icons UNITOPIA as well as Australia's Progfest and AUDW events.
In December 2011, Toehider’s 12in12 project will be re-released as 2 double-disc sets, 'The First Six' and 'The Last Six'.
They might take you a while to get through, but they encompass everything from the weird, wonderful, epic, soothing and everything in between.
“The best Monday song ever. Yes, yes, I Must Say Yes.” – Zan Rowe, Triple J
“I don’t throw it about willy-nilly. Their stuff is BOSS” – Andrew G, Channel V

About this track...
A showstopping blues rocker a la Deep Purple. Frenetic fretwork and keyboard soloing that Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore would be proud of.
The performance is tight and brilliantly arranged. One of the band's live highlights and often their closing number, with chops like this it's easy to see why.
