Biography
Human art.
Sally Tomato is the lead singer of her eponymous band and the star of Toy Room, the international award-winning rock opera film.
“Is she the product of artificial intelligence? Is she the 21st century uberfrau? Indeed she is, and more.”
Toy Room traces a difficult childhood, a tumultuous early adulthood and an abusive marriage before finding redemption through the innocence of the inner child. If Fellini set Ibsen's A Doll's House to music by Frank Zappa, the result might feel like this.
Her catalogue moves from the intimate acoustic Soup EP through Concentration, the theatrical Toy Room, and later sonic travels. Her films include UFO Am I, explOregon and My Dirty Left Foot.
The musical backdrop is shaped by Carlos Severe Marcelin on guitar and electronics and Eric Flint on drums—textured guitars, sequencing, loops, electronic gadgets and a very large drum kit.
