Segal returned to the band not long after, and the band decided to stay as a four-piece with both Segal and Josephson on guitars. The band started playing live right away, playing their first live show at the Patiphone club in Tel Aviv. though their close connection to internationally known punk rock band Useless ID landed them many opening slots for Useless ID, as well as other big name Israeli bands such as Betzefer and Man Alive.
