About ChildzPlay
Heavy metal band based in Boise, Idaho. Active during the 1980s, briefly reunited in 2017 for Treefort. Formed in 1983 by founder/ guitarist Mitch Hoitt. Mitch brought in Ray VanCour (bass) and Troy Nickell (drums). Shortly after, Jefferey Fultz (guitar) and Curt Caldwell (vocals) completed the original lineup. ChildzPlay’s debut album First Toy was recorded in 1985 and quickly received consistent local radio support, launching ChildzPlay into a string of high-profile “live” shows around Idaho. Within the next three years, Curt Caldwell leaves the band and is replaced by Mike Bell (who remains the Lead Singer for ChildzPlay). In 1988 the band moved to Los Angeles, then to Seattle in 1989 and Jeff Morgan (Guitar) fills the spot vacated by Mitch Hoitt. In 1991, Jeff Morgan is replaced by James Lancaster (Guitar) who tours with the band for the next year. In 1992, James moves back to Boise and Jeff Morgan returns to the lineup. ChildzPlay recorded their unreleased second album “Big City” (1992) in Seattle. Shortly after the completion of the album, ChildzPlay breaks up. Founder Mitch Hoitt died on October 11th, 2020. The band is active again since 2024.
