Chocolate Starfish

[1] The group reformed in 2010 and on 31 March 2012, guitarist Zoran Romic died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma after remission from an earlier bout.

The band played a limited number of shows with a comical country based theme under the name of The Hodads at the Station Hotel.

[5] By that time ex-Roxus members John "Stone" Nixon and Darren Danielson replaced Harnath on bass guitar and Pawsey on drums, respectively.

[3] Falvo left the group at the end of 1994 and Tim Rosewarne replaced him on keyboards for the second album, Box, released in October 1995, reached No. 6.

[3][4] McFarlane felt it was similar to their debut album and "mixed strong vocals with grungy riffs, anthemic choruses with moody ballads, and accessible 1970s-influenced rock with tight 1990s production values".

[9][10] They started work on new studio material, however a planned concert tour was cancelled when Romic was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in March 2011.

[9] A benefit concert was held for Romic in October 2011—at which he performed with Chocolate Starfish—and on 31 March 2012 he died of the cancer.

[9][11] The band continued after Romic's death and from January to March 2013 they played on the Red Hot Summer Tour alongside Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss and Dragon.

[14] In 2014, the band wrote a song for a TV commercial in the Northern Territory, which lead to them writing and recording an EP.

All proceeds from the sale of the song were donated to the Jaime Wild Foundation in support of a young woman challenged by motor neurone disease.

[20] In December 2020, the band released the EP Scaled Back which includes tracks from 1993 debut recorded in an intimate, jam session.
