	The band regrouped in 1997, but in an effort to start fresh, changed the name to Hundred Watt Halo. After only a few shows, the band reverted to its original name. Over the next few years, Mother May I continued to do occasional shows while writing material for their second album. Original bassist Graham McCulloch rejoined during this time. A sophomore album titled "33 1/3" was released in 1999 on SAM Records, a small label from Baltimore, Maryland. The album includes a re-recording of their 1994 holiday single "Breaking Up At X-Mas".
