Herbie proved too erratic and it was not long before the duo opted to recruit former school friend John Collie to provide a more reliable rhythm section.
They took part in the Flying Nun "Looney Tour" in February 1984, travelling around the country with various other bands, cutting a single, the "Double B-side" ("The Other's Way" and "Anyone Else Would"), in March.
Early in 1985, the band recorded an EP, Cut it Out and embarked on a short tour in June.
Towards the end of the tour the band were travelling south from Auckland by train, and Elsey, in high spirits, climbed out of a carriage.
The two remaining members of the band decided not to continue with the name, but later formed the nucleus of Straitjacket Fits.
