band), and a heavier, more progressive sound than ever before. However, Universal was unimpressed with the nearly finished product and demanded radio-friendly singles, so the band returned to the studio to appease the label. Lead single "Like the Sun" was another Canadian rock hit, but despite its popularity, it failed to sell the record. Due to the dismal sales and arguments with the Tannas over the direction of IME, Universal withdrew all support from the band, leaving it to fund small tours and second single "No Coma" on its own. The song failed to be officially added to rock radio, the video received very limited play, and the band decided to end the album's run after only seven months. The band provided the theme songs for the MuchMusic TV shows Much on Demand and MuchLOUD, but otherwise went unheard in the media for the rest of the year. Universal officially dropped IME at the end of 2003. In November 2003, I Mother Earth performed a special show in Barrie, Ontario, entitled "Live off the Floor". Largely considered by those present as their greatest live performance, the intimate, nearly four-hour show featured the band performing in the round of the Georgian College venue, with the crowd on all sides. IME played most of its back catalogue at the show, and it was thought to be the band's final performance. Hiatus During the band's hiatus, Brian Byrne started a solo career, releasing two albums and one EP. Bruce Gordon joined the Blue Man Group lineup and pursued numerous side projects. Jagori Tanna founded a new studio and record label, UpperLeftSide music, as well as the production company Segment X Productions. Christian Tanna organized local Toronto rock and jazz events, and was in management roles with both UpperLeftSide music and The Venue, a concert-oriented nightclub in Peterborough, Ontario. Reunion In January, 2012, Byrne began winding down his solo work, and plans were made to revive I Mother Earth, with members from Byrne's time with the band. During this period, the Tanna brothers and Byrne lived in Peterborough, Ontario, while Gordon continued to work full-time with the Blue Man Group production in Orlando, FL. On January 24, 2012, the band's hiatus ended with a concert announcement and blog post on their official website. On March 21, 2012, the band released the track "We Got the Love" via SoundCloud before making it available for purchase
