The band at the time consisted of vocalist/guitarist Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning, and drummer Randy Guss, who stopped touring in 2017 and left the band in 2020. Guss was replaced by drummer Josh Daubin, who had been supporting them as their drummer on recent tours.

I read somewhere that one of the Monty Python guys was driving down the road, listening to a Top 40 station some time in the mid 1990s, and when the announcer said that the previous song was by Toad the Wet Sprocket, he nearly drove off the road. When the Spinal Tap movie came out, they did indeed have t-shirts with the logo on the front and tour dates listed on the back, with the word “CANCELLED” overlaid. I wouldn’t mind having a Geronimo Jackson t-shirt either; that band was part of the “Lost” series. ---
