Following the somewhat anticlimactic breakup of LE SHOK in mid-2001, Todd quickly got busy teaming-up with newly-transplanted Buddy and Mike, both ex-TEENAGE HEARTTHROBS and LESBIAN MAKERS (as well as their final addition - former THE COUNT drummer, Jeremy). Within a few short months the band were hitting the road for weekend trips with noteworthy (and massively-popular) bands like THE STITCHES and BRATMOBILE - to overwhelmingly positive responses. C'est la vie. Todd's "old tricks" wound up splitting up the group in mid-2002.
