The evening at the Queen’s will consist of Toy Zebra original songs, such as For Never, Gone To Waste and I Don’t Need Your Love. The band will also perform a variety of hits from the 60s to the 2000s. They’ll cover songs by artists such as Billy Idol, Van Halen and more contemporary music by The Killers, Muse and the Black Eyed Peas.

Toy Zebra performs from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.  No cover before 10 p.m., $10 after.
