By 2000 added bass guitarist John Aversa (ex-Ransom, Carl Hupp Band, Jay Jay), and vocalist Katie Royal had left the group (see 2000 photo).
Later in 2000 Vergauwen was replaced with Scott Reiber, and by 2001 the group added a horn section of Craig F. (trombone, keys, vocals), and Patrick G. (trumpet, percussion, keys, vocals). Soon after Darrow left and was replaced with Chris Deskin (drums). Aversa left (to join Junkyard Saints) and Justin Lewis took over on bass, and a new second female vocalist Sharon Joy joined. In 2002 Glen Deskin replaced Reiber (who later returned), and the following year guitarist Doug Lewis (ex-Hubcaps) was added as the eighth member, emcee, and business manager.
