Band members on Return Of included Patrick Wilson (also of Weezer) on drums, Rod Cervera (guitar), Tom Grimley (moog), Petra Haden (violin, vocals), and Cherielynn Westrich (vocals, moog). They are known for their quirky Moog-driven melodies. The single "Friends of P" off their first album was a hit.
Matt Sharp is currently working on solo projects, and the band is no longer together.
