In 2000, they moved to the revered Sympathy for the Record Industry imprint for the release of 'Fuck All Y'All', and received further exposure through their similar approach to their then label-mates, The White Stripes. The group disbanded in 2003 as Potter formed the funk rock band Detroit City Council.
