    • They find when they get back together they have many more creative influences between them
  • Fans of the band caused some civil disruption, in early 2006.
    • At a surprise show around March 3, 2006 at The Click, fans almost rioted after the venue filled to capacity with many people left outside, and the police had to be called in, including the auxillary volunteer police
    • Similar discord was feared at the next live event on March 14, 2006, at Euler's Disk.
    • However, no-one could have predicted the unprecedented result: hundreds of prank calls to the police, over-whelming the authorities with calls of bomb threats, kidnapings, and so on.
    • In lieu of the 14-MAR-05 Police crisis, the band have decided to not do any more free shows, until the city's security issues can be assessed.
