]]> If you’re wondering, as I was, where Toad the Wet Sprocket got their name from, wonder no more. I asked for us. The name “Toad the Wet Sprocket” refers to a humorous band name proposed in a 1970’s Monty Python sketch called Rock Notes. In the sketch a news reporter talks about a band by that fictional name. The band are Python fans. It was meant to be a placeholder name for the band who were planning on changing it later. But as the band became more popular quickly it stuck. If people remember your band name why change it?So they didn’t.

In the middle slot for the night was KT Tunstall. KT has been through our venue before. She’s a talented musician. Playing guitar and singing. She also plays percussion. She’s a looper. Making music by starting different rhythms using percussion and guitar lines, and running them through looping pedals to create soundscapes that form songs. A pretty cool type of music which I happen to like. She also brought along her cute little dog to sound check.

The opening band tonight I had never heard of before, but they are a pretty rocking band. They’re called Vertical Horizon . Tight with good songs. I enjoyed listening to their set.

All the musicians and their crews were nice people today and the day went better than expected, although it is a long one and we are back tomorrow for 90’s Mixtape Live.
