Squirt Frog and the Evolving Tadpoles was a moderately successful band that Rob Ferguson played bass. The other members were Justin Nachman, lead guitar and main singer and would have been Squirt Frog if the band was set up that way; Charlie Storer, drummer; and Biff Thorvald rhythm guitar. The band sort of congealed in Santa Barbara and toured the country ever since. While the band mates wouldn't get rich, it was a living. When Rob wondered what type of music they performed, Charlie suggested somewhere between Frank Zappa and Al Stewart. Rob wasn't convinced but he didn't have a better answer.
