Despite this, the band soon became inexplicably defunct. In 2006, Grindrod contributed to the short-lived music project 'A Conversation Piece' alongside Pagan Wanderer Lu and Simon Love (lead singer of The Loves). He also provided some backing vocals and narration on The Loves' second album "Technicolour", in the same year. Billy Reeves and Kerin Smith previously performed in '90s indie band theaudience alongside Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
