The Toads (7)

Columbus, Ohio 1964-66 "the GREEN group" as they were known locally, and deservedly, as they would paint their faces and hands green on most occasions. These Toads were hoppin' thanks to their triple guitar attack anchored by Chuck Wilson. The Toads were formed by Grandview High student Joel Brown, with Rick Stewart on guitar, Andy Brewster on drums, and Bruce Curtis on keyboards, and hot guitarist Chuck Wilson. They recorded an EP of four songs at Magnetic. The 7" EP was released with a color postcard showing the Toads in full green! The Magnetic Recordings were done in early '65, with Rick and Joel singing lead vocals on "Johnny B Goode", "Just A Little", "Time is on My Side", and the sole Toads original, "Stay Away". A couple songs got airplay on WCOL.
