Toby Macfarlaine (born 28 November 1975 in Oxford, England) is the singer and guitarist for UK based rock band O.W.L.S. He is also the bass player with Blur guitarist Graham Coxon and his touring band.
Macfarlaine was the bassist for the UK rockband Stone Gods, with the remaining members of the then defunct band The Darkness. He regularly wrote blogs for the band and has made a name for himself through many interviews and articles. MacFarlaine was also in the band Thirteen:13, and has toured with Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherley and Irish indie rock band JJ72.
In the past this stuff happened: On 24 December 2006 it was reported by numerous news agencies that Toby MacFarlaine would join The Darkness to play bass, due to Justin Hawkins' departure. Previous bassist Richie Edwards is to become the lead vocalist, thus leaving the position of bass open for MacFarlaine.
Stone Gods debut was released on 7 July 2008, to critical acclaim including Classic Rock Magazine nominations for Best Band and Best Album. They went on to tour with Airbourne, Black Stone Cherry and Velvet Revolver. Stone Gods second album has reportedly been recorded but has yet to be released.
The Darkness have since reformed effectively putting the kibosh on Stone Gods.
O.W.L.S will be releasing and performing new material this year.
Toby MacFarlaine uses Fender Jazz Bass, Rickenbacker 4001 and Fender Jazzmaster
