TOAD
Port City Music Hall will host the quartet of Californians known as Toad the Wet Sprocket Sept. 18. In 1986, the four teens — Glen Phillips, Todd Nichols, Randy Guss and Dean Dinning — took their group’s name from a program created by Monty Python’s Eric Idle called “Rutland Weekend Television” in 1975. From 1989 to 1998, when the lads called it quits, the group made five studio albums which sold more than four million copies and had five major radio hits combined. Well, they are back together with an album called “New Constellation” and it was about that new project and their return to Maine that dominated a conversation I recently conducted with bassist/vocalist Dean Dinning when he was home in Ventura, Calif., on a break between legs of the tour.
