The band was put on permanent hiatus after the release of The Rebel's Not In in 1998, because of the increasing popularity and time demands on Built to Spill. In March of 2007, Martsch, Johnson, Youtz and Built to Spill drummer Brett Nelson performed two reunion shows at the Visual Arts Collective in Boise, Idaho (Martsch's home town), fueling speculation of a possible new album or tour.
