Back with the Toadies

As  you may know, in November 2008, we had the honor of opening for the Toadies at the Paradise Rock Club. What this meant to us is hard to put into words, though I will try. You see, in 1994, the Toadies (of Fort Worth, Texas) released an album called “Rubberneck,” which was as close to required listening as it comes for 9-year-old boys growing in Dallas-Fort Worth in the mid-90s.  In fact, since Cassavettes started in 2005, we have routinely cover a song called “I Come From the Water” off that album. So, what a true delight it was to get to play with a band so revered in our hometown, a band that meant so much to our musical education. And just how lucky are we? Well, we’re getting to play with them again.

On Sept. 14, we are headed back to the new-and-improved Paradise Rock Club to once again play with the Toadies. We are thankful for the opportunity because 1) due to the over-before-you-know-it nature of shows like this, we didn’t get to see as much of their set last time as we had hoped, and 2) we are getting that giddy feeling of playing with the Toadies all over again. So, that’s the pitch:  a special night with a band who is quite special to us at a place that is quite special to us.

Tickets to this one are hot, so be sure to buy yours soon — we’d love to share the party atmosphere with all of you!
