Toxik was formed in 1985 by Josh Christian and Lee Ervin under the name Tokyo. The original line-up included Josh Christian on guitars, Lee Ervin - bass, Sal Dadabo - drums and Mike Sanders on vocals. The band later had to change the name to Toxik due to legal threats by another same named band. One of the original members Lee Ervin decided to leave the band due to personal reasons and was replaced by Brian Boninni, Tad Leger was a last minute replacement for Sal Dadabo, who was later offered a touring deal with Twisted Sister which never came to fruition. Toxik decided to quit in 1992.
