		Toad was formed by Maor Arbitman and Shimry Mesica in 1998.
		At that time, Gal Khahmon was recruited for the army which left the band as a trio of writers/composers.
		Toad - character from Kenneth Graham's The Wind In The Willows - and the line-up included Maor Arbitman (guitar, bass and percussions), Shimry Mesica (piano and vocals) and Dana Eizen (flute and piccolo).

	TOAD the WET SPROCKET
		In the past six years Toad has seen both the high and low points of the road, from such enjoyable excursions as the Toad/Hootie jaunt earlier this year, to the emotional anguish of having their tour bus robbed not once, but twice in the city of St. Louis.
		They are not the kind of band who stays holed up in their dressing room or tour bus, and that could partly explain the success they've enjoyed as a touring act in the nineties.
		Actually, the "REM-type-sound" label dogged Toad from the beginning, yet the band has never shied away from admitting that the quartet from Athens, GA was a huge influence in their seminal days.

	An Interview with Randy Guss of Toad The Wet Sprocket by John Everson
		Toad the Wet Sprocket was ready to quit the road in support of its fourth album, Dulcinea, and get to work on a new record.
		This is a band that recorded its first album in a living room for $650 eight or nine years ago.
		The band now has a world wide web page on the internet through Sony Music, which Guss says is another way for the band to have direct contact with its fans http://www.music.sony.com/Music/Artistinfo/Toad.

		Danse Macabre, the band I'm a fiddler in, was the two o'clock to dawn band.
		(Toad Hall's a old stone church so the acoustics are bleedin' near perfect.) The party began on Saturday evening with a potluck dinner, continued with dancing all night long, and ended with a dawn waltz on Lammas.
		The band claims it creates, and I quote their agent on this, "acoustic instrumental world chamber rock." All I know is that is some of the finest instrumental dance music I've heard.

		Toad the Wet Sprocket is why people know about me in the first place and why they're interested enough to find out about me. I haven't had enough exposure to really have a name of my own yet, so at this point that's what pays the mortgage.
		Having a band was great for that; I'd always have someone I needed to show up for, I needed to have good work ready for.
		I think Toad was a band that was somewhat complex with a very simple presentation.

		Straight from being the frontman of former alternative rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket, Phillips took a wayward turn to travel down a solo road in recent work, which was on full display at the Largo show as he sang with just an acoustic guitar.
		While the band worked on another album it became apparent that the group was slowly dying.
		Phillips compared his present lyrics with the one's he wrote for the band, “Toad was so much about the band all the time that the piece of it that I could really claim for myself was lyrics they were all about me, what I was going through, what's in my head.

		Though the set's liner notes make much of the band's breakthrough gigs in San Francisco, the shows performed by Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker at the Grande Ballroom in October '67 were equally important.
		As Clapton himself once told me, when his band saw the Grande packed wall-to-wall with animals, they knew they were home.
		Call it the curse of "Toad": The band imploded in less than three years, with Bruce, Baker and Clapton soloing off into separate fl holes of virtuosity.

		Now all of the musicians in the band are pretty high level, and I just write songs, sing lead, play rhythm guitar, book gigs, set up the f#cking PA system and try to accomplish all of the other thankless cat-herding type activities a band entails.
		Dave Matthews Band, Toad the Wet Sprocket, plenty of bizarre or seemingly uninteresting names that mean something because the band succeeded due to immense talent, almost in spite of the name.
		For a new band ham and egging it in some schleprock town where it's like pulling teeth to find an audience, it is probably helpful to have a name that somewhat sounds like what you're about.

		Toad was a strangely successful hybrid of pure songwriting, some AAA radio-friendly hooks and fiercely loyal cult-devotion support, mostly based on the West Coast.
		Toad is a fundamental part of Phillips’ history and musical presence, but he’s a solo artist now.
		"Toad was a garage band–I mean, we got together because Todd [Nichols] could play ‘More Than A Feeling’ and that was just the coolest thing, you know?" he continues.

		The sad truth about Toad the Wet Sprocket's musical career is that it should have been over five years ago.
		Fans from the band's early days remember being captivated by the ethereal sound of their first two commercial singles, "All I Want" and "Walk on the Ocean," from its surprisingly diverse 1991 breakthrough album, Fear.
		Only Toad fans will appreciate this album and should take it for what it is: A collection of good songs you already own and bad songs you wish you didn't.

		Crash Four's sound is often associated with the Dave Matthews Band because of its jam band roots along with its heavy pop sound, similar to Dave Matthews without opening up jams as much as bands such as The String Cheese Incident or Widespread Panic.
		The band has been playing the Boise scene for the last few years, creating a loyal fan base, recognized in the 1999 Idaho Statesman's Annual Readers Choice Awards as the best rock band and best alternative band.
		After playing in a band together from '93 to '98, the two felt they had matured enough musically to move on to a new project (The group added Harley Wright on drums and Becca Gourley on violin and fiddle).

		At the same time, a band of this caliber should not be relegated to the obscurity of "off-the-beaten-path" clubs.
		They rock in ways that weeny bands like Weezer and Better Than Ezra could only hope to; in fact, those bands would have to grow a couple of balls just have any in the first place, and they'd still be short of 3Ball.

		He was only 26 when the band broke up in 1998 and he launched both his solo career and the Mutual Admiration Society, his occasional collaboration with Nickel Creek.
		But the main attraction of his third solo disc, "Winter Pays for Summer," is the same thing that put a couple of Toad singles in the pop Top 20: irresistibly jangly melodies.
