After the break-up of Gorilla Biscuits, Civarelli opened a tattoo studio on Long Island. After the band Quicksand had signed to a major label, Schreifels re-united a late version of his former band, wrote a record and produced it, resulting in Set Your Goals. Smilios was replaced by Cache Tolman prior to the recording of their second full-length album, Thirteen Day Getaway.[1] Shortly after releasing Thirteen Day Getaway, CIV disbanded in 2000. They have since reunited for a series of one-off shows, including New York's Black N Blue Bowl in 2008[2] and Belgium's Groezrock Festival in 2011.[3] CIV had yet another reunion on September 7, 2012 at the Webster Hall in New York City.[4] Announced in 2024, CIV reunited once more to support Shelter on a four night tour of the Northeast.
