The Toadies





  • Love this band


  • first saw them at a local radio station's fall concert (94.5 the buzz in 1995). Tears for fears was the headliner, ECHOBELLY played first, then an unknown band NO DOUBT--We left after the TOADIES and during the first notes of "shout, shout, let it all out...."


  • i saw them a few more times in Houston, then the chic bass player was sad and did not want to do it anymore, so they disbanded.


  • they had a farewell tour in 2002--probably the best i have ever seen them


  • UNTIL this month, they did a three city reunion tour (including 2 sold out shows at stubbs in austin)


  • four hashers went--first round of drinks, Rubbin's states, "damn, that was half a keg $$$"


  • Then we started getting free beer from this guy (who apparently gets in free and gets free beer). i had to tell him "no more" after awhile, but he kept bringing them anyway.


  • concert was good, not the best that i have seen them, though


new chapter---I REALLY LIKE A NEW BAND--Todd Lewis (front man for toadies) leads it

They sound pretty good. That concert, drink-wise, reminds me a little of our Zappa experience. I think I was the one saying "no more" at one point!
