Toadies

American alternative rock band Toadies formed in Fort Worth, Texas in 1989. Though the band has had an eclectic, rotating lineup since its inception, the core of the band’s lineup consists of frontman Todd Lewis, drummer Mark Reznicek, bassist Lisa Umbarger, and guitarist Clark Vogeler. The Toadies became regionally famous across Texas in the early 1990’s, eventually signing a record deal with Interscope Records in 1994.

The band released their first full-length album (they had independently launched an EP entitled Pleather years before) Rubberneck in mid-1994 on Interscope. A surprising success, the album sold over a million copies and produced four hit singles, including "Away" and "Possum Kingdom". In the wake of Rubberneck the Toadies toured aggressively throughout the mid 1990’s, opening for major acts like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bush and touring with regionally acclaimed bands like Supersuckers and The Reverend Horton Heat.

The Toadies planned to follow up the success of Rubberneck with the release of their second album Hell Below/Stars Above in 1998 but Interscope rejected the first itineration of the album, and as a result Hell Below/Stars Above was heavily edited and not released until 2001. The Toadies left the label soon after, and due to internal conflicts the band broke up later that year - Todd Lewis would go on to form hard rock outfit Burden Brothers, while Mark Reznicek would go on to join Texas outlaw country band Eleven Hundred Springs.
