Check Out This Short Toadies Tour Documentary…

Toadies guitarist Clark Vogeler shot and edited the above footage for a five-minute, 32-second glimpse into the lives of the Toadies, their roadies and their tourmates The Willowz on the road. And, go figure, it’s pretty cool. Hell, I’d watch a feature-length cut of this, I think…

Download: They Were Stars — “Every Now and Then”

Look Who’s On The Cover Of The New Rolling Stone

Shocker, I know. It’s the Westlake-residing JoBros’ second RS cover in less than a year, which is crazy. And absurd to say the least. Anyway, the accompanying feature apparently focuses primarily–or at least partially?–on the brothers’ lives in their new “Dallas” home, so there’s that to look forward to maybe?…
