"[3] In 2008, Green River reunited for the 20-year anniversary of the Sub Pop record label and have played several live shows since.
Ex's With Benefits formed in 2012 after Vincent had written music for possible future recordings by Green River that never materialized.
He reconnected with an old high school friend, Dmitra Smith (who was fronting the San Francisco-based band Static People), sending her some of the songs to see if she'd be able to record on top of them.
