Evanston, IL - A very comfortable place to play!
The Tai food, big cushy sofas, and eclectic atmosphere was appreciated by all. Lots of compliments on the band's playing at
this gig. Thank you all who came!
You could throw in a little Jeff Air for your singer she did good on white rabbit. Dead is good, Reggeeee is good,
Long guitar leads are even better. It was fun and cheap and a good time was had by all! - DW
February 26, 2005 Saturday - C.J. Arthur's Wilmette
Another fun night at CJ's! Many friends were there. Howie claimed writership
on nearly all the classics we play, but most of the audience forgave him for that! A
lot of laughs, especially Mike D's antics during White Rabbit, cracked us all up.
From the Illinois Entertainer - Look for the Toast listing:
Toast was proud to play at one of the premier venues for live entertainment in the Chicago area!
We all had a great time! It was an inspired and spirited night of playing. The Young Arsonists
were fine gentlemen. Special thanks to the members of The Fabulous Beyondos for being there and showing your support! We owe you one, Mike, Sue, and Wil!
January 28 Friday, 2005 8:30-12:00 - C.J. Arthur's Wilmette
Toast had a great night Friday at CJs. They say Toast is at their 'most popular band' level, and people were overheard
talking about Toast's upcoming gig the day before. Anyway, the band played great and all who were there had a great time!

Hey! You guys sounded fantastic this w/e at CJs and Potato Creek Johnny's! Ever

September 10, 2004 Friday 8:30-12:00
I loved your gig at CJ's. It was the best you guys ever did! Jim's
range is so fantastic. I loved Chris singing Go Ask Alice (White Rabbit). And Howie the drummer doing Basket Case was incredible
as was Will doing Black Magic Woman and Paul was out of sight. I don't have the words - I just want to have Paul's babies.
I missed hearing your number one hit Why Won't You See Me. I guess I left too early. Hope to see you guys soon. You're the
best!
-Anne
...just needed to totally unwind and get into the happy part of my
brain - you guys definitely got me there.
Looking forward to enjoying more of your music!
-Cari
We had a blast, you sounded fantastic!!!

Toast performed prior to COLLECTIVE SOUL!
They have eight #1 rock hits with sales of over 8 million records, and recorded
recently with Elton John.
Toast played a short set of mostly original songs, prior
to the Collective Soul performance
in the 400 person Rave Vibe Room. The crowd flocked to the Toast stage, and the house was rockin!
The Rave Bar at The Eagles Club
Is the #1 place in Wisconsin: the state's only showcase venue. Patrons continually praise the venue's crisp acoustics
("the 400 person Rave Bar makes any band sound good"). photo collages of previous concerts that adorn the walls. Countless
national acts made their Wisconsin debut on this stage, including The Wallflowers, Third Eye Blind, Smashmouth, Blink 182,
Creed, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthew’s Band and Tantric. It just goes to show... you really never know who you might catch
at the Rave Bar! ...Like Toast!
August 2004 - Toast inaugural performance CJ Arthur’s
July 2004 - The Jim O’Connell All Star Band
