In Swan Lee

After the departure of Christensen, the remaining trio (Rosendahl, Jorgensen and Struck) continued playing together and renamed their band as Swan Lee. An entire album was recorded with the newly-signed Cannibal Records, but the label never released because of musical differences with the label's director Kim Hyttel, followed by lawsuits. Other record companies rejected them seeing a potential only in Rosendahl.

The band finally decided to establish their own record label, named GoGo Records, and in February 2001 released their debut album Enter. The album sold 20,000 copies and contained, the single "Tomorrow Never Dies", written in collaboration with Tim Christensen. In 2004, the band had another album, the self-titled Swan Lee. Swan Lee disbanded in September 2005.
