In December 1988 - three months after the release of their fourth and final album, Strangeways, Here We Come - the band convened for the last time.

The band has recently convened in 2012 to play a show, and record new material.

In November 2008 the band convened for one performance at the Tanned Tin Festival in Spain.

This has all been a great endeavor of research, but as the quintessential side project - a band convened to honor a dead musician - the group hasn't performed much.

In October 1979, the band convened in Paris with producer Roy Thomas Baker.

The band convened, initially, in July 2009 to perform at a memorial concert for the late Sky Saxon of The Seeds.

In April 1997, the band convened at Buck's Kauai vacation home to record demos of material intended for the next album.

The band are spending time right now writing new songs and will convene to a rehearsal room near Bristol in early April to start working on these new songs together.

When the band convened to resume recording in late 1966, there was still a camaraderie and desire to collaborate as musicians.

From March through to June 2008, the band convened in Los Angeles with producer Cameron Webb to begin work on their 19th album Motörizer.
