The band enjoyed moderate success, earning heavy praise from critics and fans and opening for such bands as Blink-182, Incubus, MxPx, Buck-O-Nine, Sack Lunch, Pennywise, Unwritten Law, Mad Caddies, Ten Foot Pole, Home Grown and many local San Diego bands. In June 1998, a video was shot for Pivit's song "Oddessy" in Rancho Bernardo and downtown San Diego, directed by Taylor Steele.
