Named in honor of a sketch by the Monty Python comedy troupe, this 4-piece band of Santa Barbara, CA high school cronies came to be known as TOAD THE WET SPROCKET in 1986. To this day, their mellow, melodic folk-pop sound made them one of the most successful alternative rock bands of the early 1990s. Toad the Wet Sprocket?s commercial breakthrough came in 1991 as the single ?All I Want? (which had nearly been left off the 1991 album ?Fear?) became a Top 20 hit. Gavin?s airplay reports also listed it as #1. After ?Fear? was certified platinum, another single from the LP, "Walk on the Ocean," also became a successful track for the band. They played over 300 shows on the ?Fear? tour, a two-year marathon ending in throat surgery for Phillips? overused pipes. Three years later, Toad returned with ?Dulcinea?, generating yet another Top 40 hit (not to mention a six-week run as number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks) with the single "Fall Down." ?Dulcinea? then also sold enough copies to reward Toad with another platinum certification. 1995 brought ?In Light Syrup?, a collection of unreleased material, B-Sides and movie soundtrack songs. Featuring ?Good Intentions,? another hit single that?s also been featured on the platinum selling "Friends" TV show soundtrack, ?In Light Syrup? recently became certified gold. And now, 2006 finds Toad the Wet Sprocket looking to reassemble their fans as they take to the road for a series of concert dates.
