Watch/listen to the interview here:

As the founding frontman of legendary, multi-platinum NZ rock band Shihad and supergroup The Adults, Toogood has spent 30 years at the forefront of Aoteara’s music scene, writing, singing, performing, mentoring, managing, directing, producing, DJ-ing, programming and promoting – all with enormous energy and humanity.
Toogood’s next chapter reveals him at his most up close and personal. Last Of The Lonely Gods is a rousing and optimistic collection of songs that sees him back on the acoustic guitar, making meaning out of a series of challenges he has faced in the last few years. Watch the video for the hopeful, piano-driven title track here.

Produced by ARIA award-winning producer Scott Horscroft (Empire of the Sun, Silverchair and Shihad’s Beautiful Machine), Last Of The Lonely Gods is a journey through grief, the loss of loved ones while being separated by lockdowns, the pain of not being able to say goodbye and looking for silver linings.
