The Band eventually split in 1994, after various problems with the line-up and other commitments. Nick, Kellie and Mark carried on in a band called Cola with the inclusion of a guitarist called James Mortram and Kellie's sister Emily providing harmonies (now in Sargasso Trio), Mark went on to join the remnants of Yoghurt Belly, who were at the time turning into pre-Neutrinos band called Pelt, Nick briefly toyed with a sampler and messed about with it with Pete Morgan in a short lived unit called Neatishead, Tim Mills learnt drums and joined the Action Jacks, Richard went on to form Blue Script and later did some recording with Kellie and Emily in Little Mink. Kellie, after a break, now performed under the name of Joy Tourette and has releases as Kellie The Eagle on Monkey Love Records.
