Both departed soon after the Crashers' formation (and later reunited in Rancid), leaving vocalist Elyse Rogers and guitarist Jason Hammon to lead the band.
The Dance Hall Crashers recorded a few songs during their first year (these are featured on The Old Record), and in 1990, they made their most notable lineup change, adding second vocalist Karina Denike. Soon after, the band members parted ways, but they played a reunion show in 1992 due to pressure from fans. The show met with great fanfare, and so the band decided to reunite on a more permanent basis, with Rogers and Denike on vocals, Hammon on lead guitar, his brother Gavin on drums, Scott Goodell on second guitar, and Mikey Weiss on bass. The Dance Hall Crashers song "Enough" was featured on the soundtrack for Angus (1995 film). The song "Don't Wanna Behave" was featured in the 1996 film "Biodome" as well.
As of August 2005, the band members lead separate lives but still play a few shows per year. In November 2004 they played and recorded a show at the Hollywood House of Blues; the concert was released by Kung Fu Records in September 2005 as part of the popular The Show Must Go Off DVD series.

Buried Alive On a normal day, I'd treat you like I did…
Day Job Four days left in the week And already I looked ahead I'm…
Don't Wanna Behave I can't seem to remember if you were kinder Did you…
Enough It began with a mistake, I don't know what was at…
Flyin She don't want anybody to be there for her She don't…
Go Want to go with you but I think I'll stay Want…
Good For Nothin They said you led your life With a well mannered state…
Pictures If you don't know me Please why don't you tell me 'Cause…
Queen For A Day It's never gonna work out Quite the way that they plan Their…
Shelley Why are you listening to all the things they tell…
So Sue Us I heard you had a mind to sue Why I don't…
Sticky Never mind the time when you were all alone and…
Too Late On a sinking ship, I'd be the first one To jump…
We Owe I don't know just where it All goes, I', in debt…

When I listen to it, it makes me sad in a good way. It makes me think it's being sung to a terminally ill child.
"Why are you worried about the dirt? I don't think that you'll mind. When it's your time." And the "promise I'll wait a while. To make sure that you've moved on." If it's a lullaby, it's scary. Ha. I thought maybe it was her singing to her grandma on her deathbed, too. Makes more sense I guess.
