Al and the Transamericans

The show, at the Lion's Den in New York City on Thanksgiving weekend, featured the same lineup without Rolf Witt.

During this time, the band's lineup was augmented; Schnier, Juhas, and Amico remained, while Gordon Stone took over for Witt on banjo and pedal steel, and Erik Glockler from Strangefolk took over on bass for Loughlin.

In late March 2004, the band did a seven-show tour that started in Austin, Texas, and went through Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

They finished the year with a performance at moe.down V. During this show, Jay Barady of Woodenspoon replaced Gordon Stone on mandolin.

This performance also featured three songs written by Diane Schnier, who also played keyboards and drums.

The band performed songs written by Diane Schnier at three separate shows throughout the year, including a set at moe.down VI.

On October 31, 2008, Basemental Records officially released the band's second studio album This Day & Age.

The album features the most frequent incarnation of the band: Al Schnier, Vinnie Amico, Erik Glockler, Kirk Juhas, and Gordon Stone.
