Toadies were a Post-grunge band from Fort Worth, Texas . The band's final lineup consisted of Todd Lewis , Mark Reznicek, Lisa Umbarger, and Clark Vogeler.

They are best known for the hit single " Possum Kingdom ," from their album '' Rubberneck ''. This song was named after Possum Kingdom State Park , in Palo Pinto County, Texas .

The band formed in 1989. Toadies officially disbanded in 2001, closing the year with a farewell tour across Texas. The band reformed for a reunion show on March 11 , 2006 , headlining the Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day parade concert. They also had a reunion show at EdgeFest 15 on June 18 , 2006 . In March 2007, the band embarked on a mini-tour, playing dates in Austin, Houston, and Dallas. The final show at the Greenville Ave St. Patrick's Day parade was recorded and released as '' Rock Show ''.

Toadies toured extensively throughout the 1990s, opening for such artists as Red Hot Chili Peppers , White Zombie , Bush , and The Butthole Surfers . They also headlined and co-headlined tours with acts such as Brutal Juice , Baboon , Supersuckers , and The Reverend Horton Heat .

The primary reason for the breakup of the band was that Lisa Umbarger simply did not want to be a part of it anymore, and bandleader Todd Lewis felt that the band could not continue without her.

Since disbanding, members of the band have gone on to other projects. Todd Lewis -- now performing as Vaden Todd Lewis -- is frontman of Burden Brothers and Mark Reznicek is now in Eleven Hundred Springs .

A master of "Possum Kingdom" is featured in the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II .
