Toilet Böys are an American rock and roll band from New York City, United States. The band's original line-up is made up of Miss Guy, Sean Pierce, Electric Eddie, Rocket, and Adam Vomit. Toilet Böys have toured world-wide supporting musical acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nashville Pussy,Orgy,The Damned, Dee Dee Ramone & Deborah Harry. They were known for a highly energetic stage show that included spark-showers, smoke, lasers, strobes, synchronized flame-columns, cheerleaders, confetti cannons, burning guitars and fire breathing performed by their lead guitarist, Sean, during the finale.

An album of unreleased material, demos, and remixes entitled Sex Music was released in 2007.

Toilet Böys reunited and played their first surprise concert on June 14, 2010 at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City. Most of the boys are back including Miss Guy, Sean, Eddie and Adam with the addition of Shane on guitar. They played the Azkena Rock festival in Spain in June 2010.

The Toilet Böys formed in 1995 and their first show was as opening act for Deborah Harry, who performed with her own band at the rock club, Don Hill's, in NYC. They were not formed as a backing band for Deborah Harry as is erroneously published and believed.

Toilet Böys lead singer, Miss Guy (who was house-DJ at the club) was inspired to form a band and fulfill a dream of playing a show with Harry, one of his idols, if just for one night. He put together a band specifically for this occasion and it was only intended to be a one-time performance. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with the result being the booking of Toilet Böys for several additional gigs. These performances led to demand for further performances. Within a year and a half the Toilet Böys line-up had solidified into the permanent, 'classic' line-up, under which they gained worldwide notoriety.
