After the single Fuck California/ Carolyn's Booty did not succeed in
keeping the interest alive, the band released
II (Columbia, 1999), an anthology of nonsensical songs that only
occasionally (Puffy Little Shoes) matches the modestly entertaining wit
of Peaches.
Chris Ballew also recorded the single Twig/ Lint Cake (Cosmic)
with Beck under the moniker of
Caspar And Mollusk.
Chris Ballew started a new career under the moniker Giraffes (a one-man
band), releasing
collections of spartan and demented folksongs:
13 Other Dimensions (My Own Planet, 1998) and
The Days Are Filled With Years (Orange, 2000).
Shortening their name to "the Presidents", the band reunited and released
Freaked Out And Small (Musicblitz, 2000), an album of biting power-pop
and garage attitudes.
These Are The Good Times People (2008) had literally nothing to say,
and didn't even say it too well (having lost their original guitarist).
