![]() Perhaps that’s a commentary on how many groups of their ilk were trying to command a world’s attention in the year following Kurt Cobain’s suicide, and maybe even speaks to the faltering and fractured nature of the tribe of Alternative Nation by late 1994 or 1995. ![]() Essentially, Toadies were a band that seemed to be on the fringes of a movement: somewhat seen, but never actually really heard. I distinctly recall catching the last 10 or 15 seconds of their hit “Possum Kingdom” on MTV or MuchMusic or some such video outlet at one point – and then I never saw the video or heard any mention of it ever again. I saw their album Rubberneck in music stores, thought about picking it up based on a little bit of press I’d read, but didn’t. If you were around and musically savvy during the mid-’90s, you might have had an experience such as mine when it came to the alt-rock sounds of the Texan group Toadies.
