 Lewis considered Umbarger "the core of the band" and decided to break up the band rather than continue without her.The band played a few farewell shows later that summer, with Mark Hughes filling in for Umbarger, before parting ways.After the Toadies breakup, Lewis joined up with Taz Bentley of Texas band The Reverend Horton Heat to "record a few tracks, do some shows and put the songs out on the Internet."
