Shortly after this the line-up was expanded by the addition of Ste Weatherall and Paul Fowler which went on to record the "Pity Me" EP. This group played some high-profile concerts in the North East, including gigs supporting The Fall and Pink Military. Further line-ups followed, including a stint under the name The Maid's Neck before finally calling it a day in 1982.
