September 18th - Ft. Worth, TX:  Toadies new album Heretics is out today via Kirtland Records. The album is a stripped down collection of re-worked Toadies fan favorites as well as two new songs, an unreleased track and a cover of the Blondie classic 'Heart of Glass'. 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 from Centromatic appears on a bonus track 'The Appeal.'

Listen to the album streaming over at Billboard

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.
