October 21st - Ft. Worth, TX: Toadies kick off their Heretics headline tour, today, starting with a run of historic Texas Dance Halls including Gruene Hall, Luckenbach and Schroeder.  The band will then embark on cross-country headline tour to play select venues to best showcase the feel of their new album, including City Winery and Hotel Cafe. Classic tracks Possum Kingdom, Tyler, and Backslider and more are reworked with new instrumentation and arrangements alongside new songs Belly of a Whale and Queen of Scars. Centromatic's Will Johnson, who appears on Heretics will be joining the tour from San Francisco onward (Dates below.)

Heretics is out now via Kirtland Records. The album is a stripped down collection of re-worked Toadies fan favorites and new tracks. The idea to do a deconstructed record was born at the band's annual Dia De Los Toadies Festival, which just celebrated its eighth year in the band's hometown of Ft. Worth. The first night of the festival traditionally sees the Toadies playing a 'chill set' which resonated with fans, the band taking their feedback and deciding to create a record to capture that vibe. Special guests features on Heretics include Sarah Jaffe, Willie Nelson's harmonica player Mickey Raphael and Will Johnson.
