Smash Mouth formed in late 1994, and released “Walkin’ on the Sun” three years later. Smash Mouth’s three top-ten hits, “All-Star,” “Then the Morning Comes,” and “Can’t Get Enough Of You Baby,” helped their album “Astrolounge” go quadruple platinum. Other hits include “Pacific Coast Party” and “I’m a Believer,” which was featured on the “Shrek” soundtrack.

The band most recently released the album “Magic” and has focused on touring and entertaining troops in Japan, Guam, Guantanamo Bay, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Toad the Wet Sprocket got its name from a sketch by the Monty Python comedy troupe. The group formed in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1986, touring for five years before going mainstream with their 1991 album “Fear,” which contained hits “All I Want” and “Walk on the Ocean.”

Three years later Toad the Wet Sprocket returned with the album “Dulcinea,” with the single “Fall Down.”

The band continues to tour and most recently released its first album of new material in 16 years with “New Constellation.”
