By the time of the band's third gig, they had a set of over twenty songs, due to the prolific writing partnership (as well as solo offerings) from [[R William Murphy|Rob]] and [[Dan Duran|Dan]]. Cracks began to show though, as their writing styles were pulling in different directions; as a result [[Dan Duran]] left the group in mid 1998. | By the time of the band's third gig, they had a set of over twenty songs, due to the prolific writing partnership (as well as solo offerings) from [[R William Murphy|Rob]] and [[Dan Duran|Dan]].

| − | + | The remaining three forged a new, harder sound, based entirely around Rob's Smashing Pumpkins/Tool kind of material. Over the next couple of years, their sound fluctuated between epic and tight, raucous and commercial. | |
| − | + | In 2000, Seth joined the band as a second guitarist, but it wasn't to last much longer. Rob disbanded the group in 2001 and moved to Wellington. He returned in 2002 and formed [[Big Elephants]], with Sequester drummer Arie and former Sequester guitarist [[Dan Duran]] (who played bass this time around). | |
| − | + | There are recordings around, but they are hard to come by. The group recorded approx. nine songs with future [[48May]] guitarist Jody, for which one song, ''Numb'', a video was shot. In 2000, the group recorded an as yet unreleased four track EP with [[Dan Howard]], for which another video was shot - ''Live Without Me''. | |
