Quitting the band in 1993, the drummer was known for his eccentric behaviour which included handing out cabbage and mashed potatoes to fans at the door at gigs, doing handstands and running around the venue and stage while the rest of the band played.

His last recorded effort with the group was on the ‘Watery, Domestic’ EP in 1992.
