TOMAN BROS - (Contributed by Chris Holzhaus) CH writes: "Also, I noticed that you have no info on the Toman Bros.? These guys are still together after some 25 years. Southside Boys ...Russ Toman guitar ...bro Randy Toman on bass. Good people, wonderful players. I think at one time they played in the Drugstore Cowboys, but I'm not sure."

Mike Lowell adds: "I seem to recall hearing somewhere that an old band mate of mine .. Brian Goldberg played drums for them at one time. I agree with Holzhaus, nice guys and good players"

Randy Toman was with Dub Robinson- guitar, and Robert Payne- drums to form the Gary (king of the honky tonk) Stewart's road band line up of the Drugstore Cowboys in the mid to late 70's. Randy left the cowboys to form a rock band with brother Russ Toman- guitar and Robert Payne. At that time they were called "The Blend" of San Antonio. Dub Robinson formed a new group to stay on the road with Gary Stewart. after a few weeks of this line up Robert went back on the road with the Drugstore Cowboys and Gary Stewart. I replaced Robert Payne in the "Blend" line up of Randy and Russ Toman. the first week of this band found us joining Gary Stewart in Nashville to be his road band (due to a conflict of schedule with the Drugstore Cowboys). It was my idea to change the band name to the Toman Brothers when I replaced Robert Payne on the drums, who went back to the Drugstore Cowboys. This line up of Randy, Russ, and I stayed together from 1980 to 1988 at which time I left because of Gary Stewart being dropped from RCA records and me having a bitch of an ex-wife. I re-joined the Tomans briefly from 89' to 90'."
