In 1994 Dave had returned from overseas, moved to Auckland, and reformed ''the Earthlings''. Andrew had got to know ''Earl Robertson'' better (now also living in Auckland) and asked him to join the band as drummer. Rehearsals took place at the Frisbee Leisure Lounge practice rooms on Symonds St, in the main area or the vault, where the band were locked inside for several hours one night! Gigs were few and far between - mainly at the Kings Ams and the Temple on Queen St. No studio recordings were made but many live tapes of practice sessions exist. The existing ''Earthlings'' catalogue was reworked with Earl and new songs were written. In 1995 the ''Earthlings'' track K.I.S.S. was included on the ''Opus Locus'' label compilation ''Slaves of Nevermind Vol.4''. When not performing as ''the Earthlings'', Earl and Andrew went on to be the rhythm section for a number of artists including ''Bic Runga'' and ''Damien Binder''; Dave, Earl and Andrew became the live band for singer/songwriter ''Ana Strong''; Dave and Earl formed the ''Peter Styvesant HitList'' with ''Chris Anderton'', ''Dave Goodison'' and ''Dominic Blazaar'' (who Andrew played with for ''Greg Fleming & The Trains''). Andrew also guested on keys with Dom's band ''Smoothy'' live, played in ''Reader's Wives'' with ex-''Chainsaw Masochist''s ''Ricky McShane'' and ''Murray Cawley'' and in ''Real Fabrica'' with ''Scotty Pearson'' (''Elemeno P'') and ''Matt Ruys'' amongst others. Andrew is also behind electronic act ''Tomorrowpeople''. Earl provided the vocals for the ''Tomorrowpeople'' track ''Got The Time'', which was released on the ''NZ Fashion Week'' CD compilation in 2004. Earl has played with numerous acts including ''Upper Hutt Pose'', ''Grace'', ''City Newton Bombers'', ''Billy Squire'' and ''the Rye''. Aside from guitar duty in many bands Dave released a solo record ''Fold In Two'' in late 2008. Dave also contributed guitar parts to ''Tomorrowpeople'''s remix of the 2001 ''K'Lee'' hit ''Broken Wings''. ''The Earthlings'' have never officially split. | In 1994 Dave had returned from overseas, moved to Auckland, and reformed ''the Earthlings''.
