The next two albums on the label were released simultaneously in 2003. "Caterpillar" and "Butterfly" by The Tokey Tones both featured and were produced by label founder Scott Mannion. Members of The Brunettes guested on some of the tracks, and when playing live The Tokey Tones have since relied on a revolving cast of musicians from other Lil' Chief Records bands, such as The Brunettes and The Ruby Suns. "The New Zealand Herald" stated "There has been nothing quite so tasteful, fully realized or confident in Kiwi pop," about the releases.
