The band reunited for a performance at the Norman Music Festival in Norman, Oklahoma on April 26, 2008.[6] The band reunited once more on September 8, 2017 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Norman music venue The Opolis.[7] On October 4, 2017, drummer Eric Harmon died at the age of 48.[8] DiscographyAlbums
