''Andrews'' left following the recording of ''Fingered'', with the band continuing as a four-piece. The band were best known for their song (and [[Greg Page]] produced video), ''Food''.

− | After ''Vicki Greetis'' (nee ''Pollard'') was asked to play at a girl’s night performance, the band reformed for a reunion gig in November 2016 at the [[Wintec]] End of Year Party gig. The band have continued to gig since this time, including supporting Japanese band ''Shonen Knife'' at [[Nivara Lounge]] in 2017 and Australia's ''The Hard Ons'' in Raglan in 2018. Following reformation, the band played as both a 3-piece (minus Dawson), playing primarily their older noisier songs, and as a 4-piece, playing newer countryish-tinged songs, though soon became exclusively a 3-piece. The band is now based in Raglan. In December 2018, they released the EP [[Basement Tape]].
