Paul O'Mahony went on to perform with Orpheus, Vice Versa and Factor Fiction before forming the Loko Parentis project along with members of Nun Attax and Constant Reminders (Microdisney). He would record with Totally Unpredictable before resurrecting the Loko Parentis name in 2007. Mike O'Brien played with Paul in Vice Versa and Factor Fiction.
