Paice left Moore's band in April 1984 to rejoin Deep Purple, and he remains in Deep Purple to the present day. Paice plays drums on the Velvet Underground's final album "Squeeze", which was released in 1973.

They were soon joined by Bruce Friday on lead guitar. The Chosen Few formed in the Mornington Peninsula and played a combination of covers of United States-influenced punk (MC5, Stooges) and hard driven original numbers inspired by Lobby Loyde and the Coloured Balls and The Saints.
