later recall "with other so-called 'alternative' artists, we played to a largely indifferent crowd of thrill-seeking metal fans." and the band were unimpressed by their treatment by the Lollapalooza organisation. Katherine Gifford left altogether in 1996 (to form Snowpony), where she was later joined by Kevin Bass. Moonshake then recruited Michael Rother (not to be confused with his namesake in Neu!) as the new drummer. This line-up recorded the band's final album Dirty & Divine. Compared to The Sound Your Eyes Can Follow, Dirty & Divine featured a far less prominent role for female vocals (reduced more to harmonies) and reduced instrumentation, being recorded by a core group of Callahan, Brewer, Rother and Dickaty (with vocal assistance from Stereolab's Mary Hansen). The album contained various songs which had been played in the Moonshake set during the previous two years, with subjects ranging from sailor's tales, the lives and deaths of cities, addictions to risk and danger and sexual fantasy in advertising. Dirty & Divine was released in 1996 on C/Z Records and later licensed to a UK release through World Domination Recordings By this time, however, three years of self-management and hard touring with little reward had exhausted the band. In 1997, shortly after the UK release of Dirty & Divine, Callahan moved to the USA (to briefly relocate to Brooklyn, New York City) and the band split up, albeit amicably. Post-Moonshake An EP of Moonshake remixes – originally commissioned to promote the Dirty & Divine album – was belatedly issued in 1999, though this release was disowned by Callahan. David Callahan's time in the United States was brief, and he returned to London soon afterwards. He re-emerged on the London music scene in the early 2000s, setting up a multimedia/DJ/music project called The $urplus!. In its band formation (in which Callahan was joined by singer Anja Buechele) The $urplus! released a single self-titled EP containing four songs, resembling Moonshake's later material but with a lighter and less brutal approach, the inclusion of guitars, and Callahan and Buechele operating as much more equal partners than was the case with latter-day Moonshake. The band briefly experimented with an expanded garage-rock lineup, but did not release any more material (although Buechele would later contribute to the revived Bark Psychosis). Post-$urplus, Callahan involved himself in other work including DJing. Callahan would also reform The Wolfhounds (initially for live performances in 2004 and 2006,
