Since the band was based in Toronto, Sebastian's father eventually agreed to let him live with his aunt so he would be able to pursue his dream of becoming a rock star.
After leaving the group, Bach formed the band The Last Hard Men with Frogs guitarist Jimmy Flemion, Smashing Pumpkins drummerJimmy Chamberlin, and Breeders lead guitarist Kelley Deal, and in 1998, the band released a self-titled album on Nice Records after Atlantic Records decided not to release it.
