The band also contributed a non-album track, "American Chaser", to the soundtrack of the 1986 television film Popeye Doyle.[1] The band declined a Juno Award nomination in the R&B category for "Julian", because they felt it was a mislabelling of the song.[1] Although the band had originally signed a six-album deal with CBS, they were dropped from the label after the album's poor sales.[1] The band continued to perform live, on the lookout for another deal. Orenstein wrote and produced material for other artists, and Johnson performed as well with a band who later became known as Big Sugar.[1] Johnson and Orenstein reunited in 1990 as Infidels,[1] who had a similar sound to Alta Moda's but were more successful on the charts.
