Toadies Live at Starlight Ranch

30+ years. That’s a long time to maintain relevance, especially in the music community. But that’s exactly what Toadies and especially their legendary Rubberneck album have done. Released during the height of the grunge era, it’s mistakenly labeled a grunge record. But it’s not, not by a long shot. Described as “the Pixies meets Metallica”, the Toadies had their feet firmly ensconced in indie, alternative, punk and (near) metal to forge a sound truly all their own.The album hit #1 on Billboard Heat Seakers chart and went on to spend 49 weeks on the Billboard 200. The songs on Rubberneck are fearless, literate and visceral. Certainly, they are not your average accessible radio fodder.

Thirty years and still going strong, so much so that Toadies hometown of Fort Worth,Texas has even declared an annual “Toadies Day.” What’s next? Stay tuned and find out.There are surprises in store.
