The group was put on hold while Heath and Stapp wrangled with overseas networks over the rights to Back Of The Y Masterpiece, but the lure of truly horrendous music was too strong, and in 2004 they cobbled together the infamous Brown Sabbath – described by the band as a beer drinking concept album of epic proportions. Mind-numbing singles from that opus include the controversial ‘P’ and ‘Today, Tomorrow, Timaru’.

Sporadic activity has resulted in two further albums, Back In Brown (2006) and The Shape Of Grunge To Come (2009).
