Big Friendly closed out the show with a solo performance by Styles who sang a cover version of Ty Segall's "Goodbye Bread."

Soon after, the band told Las Vegas Weekly's Leslie Ventura that they would be returning to their roots as a foursome, with guitarist Jeff Ford reprising his role as bass player.

[5] On April 29, 2017, The Big Friendly Corporation returned to the stage after a long hiatus, to perform music from Carry On, Carrion, a double vinyl album the band released earlier that month.

They were joined on stage by new guitarist (and Melissa Marth's husband) Andrew Karasa of The Clydesdale, and Dustin Apodaca of Dusty Rhodes and the River Band.

[6][7] As an offshoot of the band, bassist Timothy Styles and keyboardist Melissa Marth formed a web series they named Big Friendly Radio (BFR).
