Soon after the release of their John Peel played single Where’s Clare Grogan Now, Katie left the band and Sheggi became the new singer.

Subsequent releases, including the EP Four Songs for Simon, Ferensway EP and The Tulip Explodes, led to a multi-pound recording contract with the fab, based Vinyl Japan label, home and future home of BMX Bandits, the Mccluskey Bros, and Thee Headcoats.
