Toadies add dates to 'Deliverance' trek
Alt-rockers the Toadies continue to add dates to their first US tour in seven years, as the August release date for the band's first album since 2001 fast approaches.
The Texas-based post-grunge outfit, which launched its comeback outing in June, has added another half-dozen or so new shows to its current trek, which resumes July 29 in Tulsa, OK, and continues on into early fall. Details are below.
"No Deliverance," due in stores Aug. 19, is the group's first album of new material since 2001's "Hell Below/Stars Above." The band has created a website for the new album, which contains a brief audio preview of the set's title track.
"Once I decided to jump I started writing," Lewis recently told a Spin Magazine interviewer. "Stuff just came out of me while writing in my home studio … so the oldest [songs] are seven months old."
The Toadies rose to fame in the midst of the grunge era with their 1994 Interscope debut, "Rubberneck." The set spawned several hits, including "Possum Kingdom," "Away," "Tyler" and "I Come from the Water." Interscope reportedly spiked the band's planned 1998 follow-up, which the group eventually reworked for release in 2001 under the title "Hell Below/Stars Above." Five months after that album hit the street, frontman Todd Lewis announced that the group was breaking up, and cited bassist Lisa Umbarger's departure from the lineup as the catalyst for the split.
The band--sans Umbarger, who remains detached from the group--eventually played a handful of well-received reunion shows in Texas between 2005 and 2007.
