The pair released a mini-album in 1991.
In 1993, Doheny formed hard rock project Dragonfly alongside Craig Harnath, formerly of Kids in the Kitchen and Chocolate Starfish, releasing two extended plays. In 1994, Doheny released his first solo single, "More Than a Game", which was used as the theme song for the Nine Network's The Footy Show for its entire 25-year run.
