played by both Scott Hill and the newcomer Creighton Chamberlain. In the spring of 2003, founding member Norman Westberg left the band and Selberg recruited Martin Ros from the then breaking up band Sons of Mata Hari. Ros's sound fitted in perfectly with the ever evolving sound of the Sheiks, as he was an accomplished guitarist with a rich punk rock and noise rock history. Summer and fall shows followed with positive response. In late 2003, the drummer John Fell left due to chronic hearing problems and in early 2004 the bass guitarist, Eric Eble, also left the band. Selberg was now left to find a complete rhythm section. Turning towards Ros to help, he suggested bass guitarplayer Rob Kimball and drummer Eric Robel who were also from the band Sons of Mata hari. With the entirely new lineup, the band charged new energy and outlook for Selberg as he produced some of his best writing to date. A midwest tour in the Spring followed with positive reception and material was written in the Summer of 2004 for an upcoming demo. It was at this time that Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers was attending the Sheiks shows, impressed with Selberg he invited them on his upcoming tour with "Gibby Haynes and His Problem", a newly conceived band that had just released an album of the same name. Heroine Sheiks accepted and a 30-day tour ensued prompting the completion of the new band's 2005 demo. Out of Aferica was released on Reptilian Records in Summer 2005 and produced the greatest reviews since the band's debut. The record was recorded in two days and mixed in one week. Out of Aferica exhibited Selberg's various personalities as a writer and creative force, and the new band's sound was more rock oriented than the band's previous lineup. A US tour followed in the fall with minimal exposure to the new record and the band saw it difficult to continue. The New York chapter of the Heroine Sheiks officially ended in March 2006. Within a year Selberg had moved back to his hometown of Minneapolis. After returning to Minneapolis, Selberg gathered new musicians to continue as the Heroine Sheiks. They released a limited edition CD Journey to the End of the Knife, and toured nationally with the new line-up. The line-up included the bass guitar player Jesse Kwakenat (also of STNNNG), drummer Bruce "BJ"
