One of the songs on this EP was also featured on the "Food Not Bombs" benefit compilation for Amnesty International, which also included tracks from The Unseen, The Ducky Boys and Anti-Flag.

In January 2008, Dean relocated to Los Angeles and made his first L.A. appearance at Largo with his friend, comedian and author Greg Behrendt.

[2] In July 2010, Dean began his first solo national headlining tour (from San Diego through Seattle and as far east as Ft. Lauderdale), joined with former Aggrolite member Korey "Kingston" Horn (drums), Jeff Bennet (saxophone) and Galaxia Records surf jazz musicians The Mattson 2 (bass/keyboards).

[7][8][9] Joined again by Dale's son Jimmy on drums, and Trevor Lucca on bass, Dean's act is rounded out with latest newcomer, Japanese import Hideki Ikeura on trumpet and keys.

[10][15] On December 11, 2015, Dean screened "Surf 9 From Outer Space," a short film/extended music video at the Trepany House at the Center for Inquiry (CFI) in Los Angeles, CA.

"[18] The Crossfire's Pete Craven commented that "the very dapper Laramie Dean" was "easily one of the highlights" of Agent Orange's European tour date at the legendary Camden Underworld.
