Held,[5] and was released in 1990.[6] The album was supported by a cross-Canada tour,[6] and gave the band further radio airplay for the singles "Shine On" and "Sex Gorilla". (The latter title was a band in-joke. The song had actually been written as "Sarsparilla", but the fans kept misunderstanding the lyrics, so the band relented and retitled the song.)[2] "Sex Gorilla" also led to a fan tradition of throwing bananas at the stage during their shows.[1][7] The band subsequently left Capitol Records, and released their third and final album Wildseed in 1995 on the independent label Iron Music.[1] Despite frequent confusion, Del Mar is not the same person as television actress Maria del Mar.[8] She has continued to work in the Toronto music scene, including gigs with Classic Albums Live and with the Rolling Stones tribute band Midnight Ramblers.[9] Storm was reported missing in November 2002. The following June, his body was found in Lake Ontario.[10] The band has performed periodically, including shows at Toronto's Bovine Sex Club in 2011 and 2012, and continue to perform at select venues.[11] Discography
