Evan, Kim and Mikey recorded one song, with Kim on bass, Evan on drums and Mikey on guitar, before Evan returned to New York City. The band is now called "Cali Giraffes" and they are planning to put out their album very soon. Cali Giraffes recorded their first full length record at Studio Litho in 2010.
