with the departure of Baxter the band's plans were put in jeopardy. The band recorded the single without him, and toured with Miller playing bass guitar for certain songs. The single and tour were a success, spurring the band to carry on and find a new bass guitarist, Ric Griffiths. Within weeks of completing the new line-up, the group developed several new songs and played their first gig at The Plug, with New Young Pony Club. During 2006 and 2007, Letters & Colours played headline shows all over the UK including The Fly in London, The Faversham in Leeds, The Barfly in Liverpool and Sheffield University's Fuzz Club, as well as Mean Fiddler's Carling Weekend. Letters & Colours also appeared on BBC's Look North regional news programme, with The Pigeon Detectives, in the press coverage for the 2006 Carling Weekend. The band also received critical acclaim from DJs on Xfm, Radio 1, 6Music, BBC Raw Talent and were one of Steve Lamacq's top tips for 2007. The band's song "Alpha" was included in Alt Delete's era defining compilation Digital Penetration in 2006. In April 2007, the band released "Gaunt/Plan A" on Mother Tongue. The song was recorded by the Sheffield musician/producer Alan Smyth and was Steve Lamacq's single of the week on his Monday night Radio 1 new music show. Despite continuing to receive critical acclaim and an ever-increasing fan base, the band split up in summer 2007, believing they had achieved all they could in their current guise.
