The latter left in mid 2006, returning in 2010 to play some live shows. In 2008, Tracy Bellaries joined on bass, playing on the Thriller record before leaving in early 2010.
After splitting amicably at the end of 2011, Part Chimp have subsequently reformed, have recorded new material and played a handful of shows in 2016.
