When Monty Python’s Eric Idle created the fictional band “Toad the
Wet Sprocket” for the program “Rutland Weekend Television” in 1975, he
never dreamed that anyone would actually use such a silly name. Fast
forward to 1986, when four California teens adopted the monicker as a
joke for their first gig at a Goleta, CA watering hole called The Shack.

Against all odds, the joke became permanent. “Toad the Wet Sprocket”
has been touring ever since with all four original members: lead singer
Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning, and drummer
Randy Guss. From 1989-1998, they made 5 studio albums which combined
sold over four million copies, had five major radio hits, and won over
audiences across North America and Europe.

After breaking up in 1998, Toad would get together sporadically to
play shows on a casual basis, but their hard core fans never gave up
hope for a new album. After successful tours in 2006-2010, the band
finally decided to put the last piece of the puzzle in place, and
committed to working together on new music. They also decided to update
their classic catalog, and created a new Greatest Hits album “All You
Want”, which came out in 2011.

Toad the Wet Sprocket are currently in the studio with producer Mikal
Blue, and fans can look forward to a new release and extensive tour in
2013-14.
