Toad the Wet Sprocket at the Bing Friday at 8




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 desperately needed to come up with a name to call their band.

Since that day, 'Toad the Wet Sprocket' has been the name of the four piece California rock band consisting of lead singer Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning, and drummer Randy Guss. They're at the Bing Friday, February 7 at 8pm. Ticketswest has your seats at www.ticketswest.com or 800-325-SEAT.
