The Toadies - Waterloo Records, Austin TX - August 25, 2010


[from Fort Worth, TX] I was hesitant about seeing this band because I can hardly stand hearing the giant names from the 90s nowadays let alone the post-grunge names from the 90s – but I always had a soft spot in my heart for this band – the album grew on me – rather than the one-emotion sound of say a Fuel or a A Perfect Circle, they were a little odder and darker, albeit poppier – so it was just the lead singer on an acoustic guitar with whom I assume was his daughter sitting behind him – his voice, without the support of a full band, was familiar but definitely not a strength – he did “Possum Kingdom” but the song that really roused the crowd was “I Come From the Water,” on which the audience handled the chorus (Photo courtesy of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SEgKiVEBy8)
