Taken Outside And Shot Twice includes members of several bands that moved to Portland, OR from Fairbanks, AK. T.O.A.S.T. was formed in 1999 in Portland and has included members from Secundus, We Should Die, Shortway, as well as many other musicians. This band focuses on a comedy based rock/punk/metal melange that has so far produced 2 EP's released on Eat My Records entitled "Year of the Monkey" and "Year of the Cock".
There has been mention since late in 2009 that the band would release their first full length record (actually a double EP) entitled "Year of the Dog/Year of the Hog" on EMR some time in the first half of 2010.
though it has been speculated about, the actual identities of T.O.A.S.T. remains a mystery, as the entire band runs under pseudonyms for performances and recordings. Current members include Spank Dawg, Mo Curly, ShaMagnon Man, and P-trap, past members have included Da Biggs, Captain Mayhem, Double D, Dr Id, Noise, JuiceBox and others
