Chickens in the Shadows
In 1979, Toasters ‘N’ Moose formed, put out one album, and disbanded. Now 30 years later, their old manager (and his niece) has brought them together again for a 3 day tour of Northern California. Featuring their now classic hit “Rock Your Body Home” and live performances of many more great songs, our cameras follow on this less-than-historic tour.
