Bleu graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.  Along with his solo work, he is the lead singer and songwriter of the Electric Light Orchestra-style power pop band L.E.O., as well as a founding member of the power pop trio The Major Labels with Mike Viola and Ducky Carlisle, and is also a founding member of the Mutt Lange homage super-group LoudLion (featuring Taylor Locke of Rooney, Allison Robertson of The Donnas, Maclaine Diemer formerly of Bang Camaro, etc.).  Bleu has toured the United States and internationally with bands such as John Mayer, Puffy AmiYumi, Hanson, Guster, Rooney, Mike Viola, Switchfoot, Alexz Johnson, and Toad the Wet Sprocket. Max Edward Dinning (August 17, 1933 — March 22, 1986) — stage name Mark Dinning — was an American pop music singer.  In February 1960, the song "Teen Angel", written by his sister Jean (Eugenia) (March 29, 1924 — February 22, 2011) and her husband (Mark's brother-in-law) Red Surrey, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Charts.  Jean and two of her sisters, Virginia and Lucille, comprised "The Dinning Sisters", a popular singing trio in the 1940s.  Additionally, Dinning is the uncle of Dean Dinning, bass guitarist for alternative rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket. P.S. (A Toad Retrospective) is a compilation by Toad the Wet Sprocket.  Released in 1999, it was a posthumous look back at their career featuring hits and fan favorites.  Although the band had officially split up prior to this release, Glen Phillips, Dean Dinning and Randy Guss reunited to record a new version of "P.S.", one of Toad's earliest songs.  In addition, Phillips, Dinning, and Guss wrote and recorded an entirely new song titled "Eyes Open Wide," without the participation of Nichols, who felt some of the remaining unrecorded studio outtakes the band had would be better to release than a new song.  Rob Taylor, who at the time was the lead guitar player in the band Lapdog, with Nichols and Dinning, is credited as playing "additional guitar" on the track. Acoustic Dance Party is an extended play (EP) album by Toad the Wet Sprocket recorded in 1994 and released in 2009.  It contains acoustic versions of some of their most popular songs.

It has only been physically released on VHS.  In 2006, the music videos on "Seven Songs Seldom Seen" were made available through the band's website. Silverstein ( ) is a Canadian post-hardcore band from Burlington, Ontario that formed in 2000.
