Although the band never reached the international fame of some of their contemporaries, such as Jebediah or Beaverloop, they remain one of the more revered bands in Western Australian musical history and are regularly cited by younger bands as an influence.
"No Sensitivity" originally appeared on a 2000 split EP with Jebediah, and also later appeared as a B-side on the German release of "The Middle" single and as a bonus track on the 2008 reissue of Bleed American.

As a permanent member of the company he appeared in The Great Grandson of Jebediah Kohler, Black Angel, and As Is and Burn This, both of which transferred to Broadway.
Filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman (2008) and professional wrestler Nikolai Volkoff (2010) have both appeared on the Monster Madhouse set, as well as guest appearances by other television horror hosts such as Count Gore DeVol, Dr. Sarcofiguy from Spooky Movie Television, Jebediah Buzzard from "Fright Time Funhouse," Cinema Insomnias Mr. Lobo and The Bone Jangler from Chicago.
Within this time, the band received a "Kiss My WAMi" award for "Most Promising Band" in 1998, completed two national tours (with Jebediah and Bodyjar), made live appearances on Triple J and ABC's Recovery TV program, and performed at The Big Day Out.
In the latter half of 2006, they flew to Dallas, Texas to record their second album with producer Stuart Sikes (Modest Mouse, The White Stripes, Cat Power, Hot Hot Heat), later completing the album in Melbourne with Dave Parkin (Snowman, Bob Evans, Jebediah).
