What ever happened to Toadies?

they came out with an album last year

didn't hear it though

i thought the singer started burden brothers. i haven't heard it in a while, but it was pretty much the toadies.

They're touring this summer!

I got to see them the last tour before they disbanded back in the early 00's. It was phenomenal.

Naah, I liked Hell Below, Stars Above. and Burden Brothers, for that matter. I love that fucking band. (one of the methods by which I snared my incredible better half: karaoke of Possum Kingdom)

Toadies is one of those bands like Hum, where I feel like the quality of their output will tragically always outstrip the recognition/appreciation that they achieve as a result. In a sense it's always nice to find an incredible band that hasn't hit it big yet, but in another sense it's always sad when that band has been at it for 15 years and been overlooked because of the vagaries and fickle, unrefined taste the average American music consumer.

Anyway. Modern Toadies to me is one of those bands like the Breeders, who will keep putting out quality albums every few years, but never really recapture that magic. And I can't blame them, I'd be chasing it too. I don't think they'll ever blow up, but god bless them for it

At least we'll always have CALL ME MIIIIISTER LOOOOOOOOOOVE.
