	A 2nd girl tried out, but the band can't remember her name. She really didn't have what the band was looking for. The band thought they were through until 17 year-old Sarah Williams called them up. She came to her first practice with lyrics written to a song she wrote, and belted out the song ~~a capella~~. Impressed by her testicular fortitude to do something like that in front of total strangers, the band knew she was the one.<br>		A 2nd girl tried out, but the band can't remember her name.

			After the initial breakup of the band, Jason Beert told Sarah Dawn that she can have the band name to reform it if she wanted to continue.<br>

			Many years later in 2018, Sarah had asked Rhen Bowman (original member) and partner Charlotte Laine if they wanted to reform the band, they asked a friend/ musician Britnar Boyd who had played in numerous bands throughout Minneapolis and Louisiana as well as solo projects to be the drummer. That worked for a few shows, but later they got original drummer Matt to play drums with Britnar on bass.<br>

			They played more than a handful of shows in 2018-2020, including Girls Rock Pine Ridge and the Pine Ridge Fair Grounds. After those shows they regained a following which reminded them of the old times.<br>

			Unfortunately they went through the loss of Britnar and stopped playing shows due to that and the pandemic.<br>

			...but the band name lives on with a potential reincarnation to come.<br>
