[10] He dissolved the project shortly after the 1986 European tour of Stills, and continued to work with, his then partner, Kozic for some time, prior to her relocation to New York City.
In 1982-83 Brophy (drums) and Traviato (sax) also played and recorded with the post-punk big band Hot Half Hour, a large ensemble led by Dean Richards (guitar) which included members of Equal Local and other Melbourne groups.
It featured large screen printed reproductions of fashion magazines and several plinths with instruments, tape players and hanging frames, all lit with neon.
[13] After this show, a representative of Missing Link Records approached the group about doing a single, to see if it would be a breakthrough hit like they had the previous year with The Flying Lizards' "Money".
The project was focused on what Brophy saw as a phenomenon of disco being used to market a whole range of consumer products, tied to its ongoing commercialisation in mainstream music.
Andras Fox and Instant Peterson made a compilation titled Midnite Spares in 2016 of "overlooked avant-pop and electronic works"[15] released on Efficient Space, an offshoot label of Noise in My Head.
