The hyped British indie rockers play east coast dates next month.

The UK's Toy have been one of the more hyped indie rock groups of the past 18 months or so and the release of their debut, self-titled album proved to many critics that the band are more than capably living up to the lofty heights that have been set for them.

They now make their way to Australia for the very first time next month, with a quick three shows planned along the east coast this June.

When our blogger saw them at SxSW earlier this year, he was well and truly won over by their shoegaze charms.

"By set's end, TOY have built a might wall of gaze. And one thing becomes blatantly obvious that wasn't as apparent on TOY recordings, the singer sounds EXACTLY like Steve Kilbey - this is a good thing."
