Toast

Toast is a band mentioned in Canadian-American author Gordon Korman's 1980 teen novel Who is Bugs Potter?.

Toast is Bugs' all-time favourite band.

Toast has a unique stage presence. The lead singer dresses in a white tie and tails. The lead guitarist wears a red-and-white striped 1890's-style bathing suit and a military hat from the French Revolution. The bass guitarist wears pyjamas with a blue bathrobe and slippers. The drummer wears jeans with no shirt and a Toronto Argonauts football helmet.

Their songs include:

• Grilled Cheese Sandwich

"Hey, I forgot to tell you, Toast is in town. They’re at a club called The Bastille. Have you heard their latest single, 'Grilled Cheese Sandwich'? It’s going to be a big hit, I can tell."

"They’re your favourite group, I suppose."

"Yeah. And we’re going to see them!"
