Coming out onto the scene with a fervent drive to dominate the pop punk world with excitable power, The Toads have done a lot with themselves in their first year as a band. Since their formation early last year, they’ve recorded a full length, performed upwards of 60 shows and have a couple music videos to tout. Today, we’re presenting you with another one.
With shots filmed around the Pearl, "I’m a Toad" is a fun video showing the three toadies, guitarist Matt Kane, bassist Matt Dinaro and drummer Mitch Gonzales run somewhat of a muck through Saturday Market, donning all white a la Andrew W.K. Their color performance scenes were filmed at the Khao San restaurant, with the restaurant owner Bud funding the video and even making a guest appearance chauffeuring the trio around in a Tuk Tuk.
The Toads have got a show coming up on the 28th with Daisy Deaths and Lord Becky at the Turn Turn Turn. "I’m a Toad" is both the kind of song and video that makes you want to jump up, act crazy and freak a few people out. Give it a watch below.
