The track is taken from their forthcoming album (Heretics, out September 18th via Kirtland Records), a stripped down record featuring re-worked Toadies fan favorites as well as two new songs and an unreleased track. The idea to do a deconstructed record was born at the band's annual Dia De Los Toadies Festival, now in its eighth year. The first night of the festival has 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.

After Dia, Toadies will be hitting the road in October on 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 Heretics, 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.

Dia De Los Toadies takes place September 11th and 12th on the banks of the Trinity River at Panther Island Pavilion. For the third year in a row, Dia is returning to Toadies hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. The festival is keeping the tradition alive with local Texas talent as well as national acts hand-picked by the band.
