Toad the Wet Sprocket

Arguably the best band named after a Monty Python sketch, Toad the Wet Sprocket sprung from Santa Barbara, CA, to popularity in the early '90s on the strength of the platinum albums Fear ("All I Want," "Walk on the Ocean") and Dulcinea ("Fall Down," "Something's Always Wrong") that captured the spirit of the alternative rock of the era. Their latest album, Starting Now, was released in 2021 and shows the band hasn't lost a step. Singer Glen Phillips and bass player Dean Dinning join Billboard's Behind the Setlist to discuss the band's distinctive sound, the songs they've been playing on tour, covering the Kiss song "Rock and Roll All Night" and much more. Toad the Wet Sprokcet is touring the U.S. through July 19th and starts another run on Sept. 8 in Omaha, NE, that runs through Oct. 14 in Mount Vernon, IL.
