The groups next few singles lacked distinction in the marketplace, and the debut album on Capitol did not do well. Despite the group being considered a footnote in 80s pop history, Gary "Mudbone" Cooper has remained active in the music business, including work with Adina Howard, Bill Laswell and even as a co-producer of the Ramones. Hes toured Europe opening for P!nk, and his most recent album, Fresh Mud, is a collaboration with Dave Stewart that combines diverse musical styles such as blues and rap.
