In March 2005, the band played the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, before playing several North American dates, and they regularly played on the British club circuit. During this time, PRR supported Mew, Hope of the States, Secret Machines, and Oceansize, as well as headlining their own gigs and recorded sessions for Mark Radcliffe's Radio Two show and XFM. In spring 2005, Jong left the band, to be replaced by another Westminster pal Jamie Willcox, though it is Jong's work featured on recorded output up to, and including, "The Dark Third". Both Jong and Willcox receive credits on the album "The Dark Third".
