Having spent the first half of 2007 making rare performances as a three-piece, Radarmaker intend to start gigging and writing new material in August upon Adam Trainer's return from Europe. In an interview with base.ad the band expressed desires to tour the east coast of Australia and Spain, where they have found success. In the same interview the band speculate that their next studio venture may take place in Japan. Despite these ambitions the band ceased performing and recording in 2009. Noah Norton and Wendi Graham have continued to perform as a duet under the moniker Balthazar and Adam Trainer has made a transition towards more noise orientated solo projects. Influences 
Radarmaker take their name from the Mogwai song 'Radar Maker', although the band's influence on their sound has diminished over recent years. Major influences include Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo and Do Make Say Think. "Atlas Shrugged" is said to have been named after the popular book by Ayn Rand, however, Wendi Graham has since stated that she hates the book. Members
