Blood, Bambach, Gerard and Tom Corben, and Sparks, reconvened for an appearance at the Hoodoo Gurus' Dig It Up show in Sydney during 2013. Their track, "Slave Girl" appeared as the theme for ABC-TV's, Paper Giants: Magazine Wars, in June that year. Mick Blood suffered a brain injury in a pub fight in 2014. The band reformed without him for a one-off benefit show in Sydney on 23 September with a number of guest vocalists, and Celibate Rifles, the Psychotic Turnbuckles, one-time backing vocalist Bill Gibson's band Hey! Charger and an unplugged Dubrovniks among the supports. In November 2015, the band announced it would play another benefit show at Sydney's Bald Faced Stag Hotel on 23 January 2016 with singer/actor Ripley Hood (Mushroom Planet, Funhouse, The Four Stooges) on vocals as Blood was still not well enough to perform. This show was cancelled several days later after objections from Blood.
