to play it live. So, in mid-1997, after some dates with Something for Kate's Paul Dempsey on second guitar, Johnstone and Balmont asked the original bass guitar player Phil Natt to rejoin the band, only this time as a vocalist/ guitarist/ keyboard player. They followed this with a show supporting Magic Dirt and Silverchair in December 1997 in the lead up to the release of the new album. The first single from the album was "You're Not the Only One Who Feels This Way", which was quickly added to radio. This was followed by the single "Monochrome". The album, Eleventh Avenue, was released in 1998. The two singles featured prominently on Australian radio, as did the final single from the album "Keep on My Side", released later that year. Break-up Because of heavy touring in support of its second album, tensions within the group reached breaking point. Consequently, at the end of 1998, Ammonia announced that it was splitting up. Wanting to go out on a high, it was decided to play the final gigs as part of the Australian festival circuit. As a result of this decision, the band's final Sydney show was at the Homebake Festival, its final Victorian performance at The Falls Festival, and the very last Ammonia show was on the Main Stage of the Perth Big Day Out in January 1999. Johnstone and Natt went on to form a new band, The Peaks, with Dan O'Halloran and Shaun Lohar, which released its first album, Avoca, in November 2004. In 2007, Johnstone was recording and playing with The Lazybirds, featuring Ian Freeman, Jeff Baker, Phil Natt and Shaun Lahour. In 2019 Johnstone released an album with the band Quick Quick Slow. As of 2021, Johnstone is performing under his own moniker. In February 2001, Hensworth joined the 7-piece showband Potato Stars on bass guitar and played in the band during most of 2001. Alan Balmont was the tour manager for The Living End and performed on Bob Evans' first album, Suburban Kid.
