does anyone know if these guys are still together? their records were ok, but their live shows always were great back in the day. if they are broken up, did they go on to start other bands? any help would be appreciated.

billy now lives in hot springs, ar - with his 2 totally cool kids and shea. they are officially "broken up" but got together last christmas for a reunion show winternationals which my band played also. they did one night at double door, and another at metro. the rest of them are scattered about the country, some still in chicago.

one of the sax dudes is a teacher at indiana or something.

a few of them post regularly on the thick message board.

They are broken up and have been officially for a few years. They reunited for 2 or 3 shows in chicago this past december. I was fortunate enough to see one of them and they were just as good, if not better, than they were back in the day.

The various bandmembers are scattered around the country right now. I don't think there are any plans to reunite anytime soon or ever. From what i understand, it was quite an effort to get everyone together for the shows last year. I don't think any of them are playing in other bands at the moment.

Bob T. (late era drummer) is in L.A. last time I saw him, he'd shot a video for Rise Against and is doing film production.

Those guys were swell. They serenaded me for my birthday once, maybe seven or eight years ago with some adlibbed song about how I was a piece of shit and I wasted my time going to see the blue meanies a bunch and what a loser I was for it and how I should get some friends and not come see their crappy band.

really sweet stuff.
