They were the last ever band to appear on a Saturday morning kids' show which was Holly & Stephen's Saturday Showdown on 1 July 2006, performing I'm Not Shy.
After the release of just one single and album, the band announced on 11 September 2006 that their record label had dropped them, and that they had parted ways.
