Also in 2002, Kansas II (the lineup prior to the recording and release of the first Kansas album) released an album under the name Proto-Kaw, featuring demos and live material recorded from 1971 to 1973. It led to a new studio album, "Before Became After" (2004), with most of the Kansas II members participating. Proto-Kaw released a third album, "The Wait of Glory", in 2006 and their fourth and final studio album, "Forth", was released in 2011, after which the band ceased.
