On 9 December 2008, The "Daily Record" announced that guitarist Alan Henderson had left the band, leaving over "musical differences". Vocalist Brian Henderson said that Alan was not seeing eye to eye on musical terms with the rest of the band. On 11 December 2008, the band announced a one-off date at King Tut's on 18 February 2009, their first gig since playing London's Underage Festival on 8 August 2008. The event sold out. A full tour was later announced, playing sixteen dates across the UK. Brian Henderson stated in an interview with The "Daily Record" that the band are currently experimenting with a number of new instruments, including bongo drums, acoustic guitars, and gospel choirs. Henderson added that the band are seven songs from finishing the album.
