Did everybody enjoy the New Elf City festival? On harvest moon, October 1, 2020, Toadstool Shadow played New Elf City, an imaginary free festival on the Moon. Along with nine other bands from around the USA, Toadstool Shadow imagined playing on the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon. There was a massive imaginary light show. There were some excellent imaginary festival vendors. That's right: all the bands, light show, and vendors were real, and all imagined rocking the full moon on the Moon itself. And it was all 100% free! All you had to do was imagine you were there, and you were there.

On July 2020, Toadstool Shadow's debut album Rainbow Nights was revealed unto the world. To promote the album, Toadstool Shadow buried a treasure chest in their hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The treasure chest contained antique silver coins, rubies, emeralds, jewelry, a Cadillac hood ornament, and more. Everybody who bought the album got the first of 12 clues to the buried treasure. On August 1, 2020, a pair of treasure hunters from Springfield, Ohio finally located the treasure chest. It was buried on the only island in Yellow Springs: the small street island in the middle of Center College Street.
In physical form, the Rainbow Nights CD is for sale at Tom's Market in downtown Yellow Springs, Ohio and Toadstool Shadow Bandcamp. The CD comes with a four-page foldout lyric sheet that includes the Rainbow Nights story. Rainbow Nights can also be downloaded at Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and all music download websites. Our favorite download site is Bandcamp (because we get most of the money you pay, instead of the download site!).
