They recorded their debut six-track extended play, Apocalypso.[3] Two tracks, "The Remedy" and "Ghost Riders" were recorded in July 1980; a third track, "Sunglasses", was recorded in December; and the final three tracks were recorded live at the Aberdeen Hotel in Fitzroy North in March 1981.[3] Hackett left to join Mondo Rock and was replaced by Geoff Hassell on drums.[1][4]
While touring, Moore died in a car accident in April 1981.[1] The group broke up and the EP was released posthumously, late that year, on Rough Diamond Records.[1][3] The EP peaked at number 52 on the Australian Charts.[5]
Champion and Teakle joined Adelaide-based group, Young Homebuyers, which issued two singles followed by an eponymous EP in October 1982.[1] From 1981 Champion was a radio presenter, as a member of Coodabeen Champions, on the Coodabeens Footy Show and The Saturday Soiree.[6] Burt was a member of the Black Sorrows from 1983 to 1985, from 1988 to 1991 and again in 1998.[2] Hackett remained with Mondo Rock until 1990.[4][7]
