....After GI, some ex-members went on to other bands. Pete who'd been in the excellent Dove, did a stint in WOOL (London Records) and re-united with Ben Pape (Dove & 4 Horsemen bassist) in No! which also featured Steve Hansgen who'd been in GI, Weatherhead & Emma Peel at one point plus produced TOOL. Sean drummed in a band Moodroom who did a string of dates in Paris France a few years ago. Lennit was involved with Jonny Cohen on Teen Beat Records for a few CDs. Brian Baker went on to Minor Threat again, Dag nasty, Doggy Rock, Junkyard, Rick OCasek & Bad Religion. To this day, he hates Stabb, hahahaha. J. obviously went on to minor fame in Jawbox & is known for his production work. Tom Lyle did a solo career after the Roll Kicker Laydown 7" or whatever the fuck that was called which moved in to a band project that lost steam after not too many gigs which didn't much appeal to the close minded punk crowd but more so hardrock lovers if anyone. In short, they never found their audience. Finally, John Stabb later appeared in Weatherhead, Teen Psycho Booty, Emma Peel, and Factory Incident. Was involved with Tom Lyle in Glee Club concurrent with GI. Occasionally did small tours doing mostly Government Issue covers with Toldeo Ohio's Jon Stain. Much of this is documented on "The Total Experience" cassette only release - issued on DSI Records, it's for sale thru Poorly Packaged Products. Factory Incident sadly have packed it in but product is for sale thru postfact.com - Stabb is now in the planning stage for yet another new career turn, stay tuned!
Update No. 1: Tom Lyle, Brian Baker & John Stabb join forces with 76% Uncertain drummer September 23, 2007 at Rock N Roll Hotel in DC to raise some much needed change for Stabb's recent misfortune - the culmination of a series of benefits in DC at Velvet Lounge, Denver at Larimer Lounge & Atlanta at Lenny's.
Groovy , gory death metal con cojones, blood painted spanish singer in a gore movies and comics inspired universe… COMO MUERTOS will release its debut album on March on DEADLIGHT ENTERTAINEMENT, straight from DRUDENHAUS STUDIO(ANOREXIA NERVOSA, ULTRA VOMIT…), it will be called « Cronica Del Dolor »
