At this time, Seafood embarked on two national tours, one supporting Kenickie, and the other as part of the "Panda in a Vanda" record label tour with Billy Mahonie and Tiny Too. They also played support slots for Laptop, Grandaddy and Dawn of the Replicants, amongst others. Seafood played as a three-piece at the Reading festival after Charles lacerated his hands in an accident, ending with a 10-minute noise version of Walking in the Air as made popular by choir-boy Aled Jones. 1998 ended with the release of "Messenger in the Camp", and a gig at London's LSE.
