The group issued a formal statement announcing their disbandment in September 1997. Since that time, all the members of the band have kept active in the music business. Anna Waronker has contributed music to soundtracks and released her solo debut album, "Anna", in 2002 on her own Five Foot Two Records label; she released her second solo album, "California Fade", in 2011. Petra Haden has released two solo albums: 1999's "Imaginaryland" and 2005's "Petra Haden Sings The Who Sell Out" in which she reinvents The Who's classic 1967 album as an a cappella tour de force. In 2005, she joined The Decemberists as a full-time member, but no longer plays with the band. Petra Haden has also contributed vocals and violin to recordings by many artists including Green Day, Bill Frisell, Miss Murgatroid, and The Rentals. Rachel Haden has contributed vocals to albums by Jimmy Eat World, Say Anything, Ozma and Nada Surf, and was also a member of the reformed version of The Rentals (featuring ex-Weezer bassist Matt Sharp) for a brief period. Tony Maxwell has worked as a composer, most notably on the films "Chuck & Buck" and "The Good Girl" (both written by Mike White).
