   About Toad the Wet Sprocket
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.

Hiya fellow Toadsters. It’s my latest music vid for “Someone Else” about letting the one you want go. Don’t let the one you want go! It’s set to real regrets found on the Web. Only $28 to make! Woo-hoo, the cats get to eat tonight!
