Many bands, including the Gin Blossoms, The Refreshments and Dead Hot Workshop found success with this guitar-driven rock music.

It would be the last band he ever played with in public as a member, though he appeared on stage with Dead Hot Workshop and Hans Olson in Tucson shortly before his death.
