Cheap Sex - After Cheap Sex

After Cheap Sex

Mike is in a new band called Evacuate with members from Lab Rats and 2nd Hand Justice, following the Hardcore / Street punk sound that Cheap Sex and The Virus had, the band released a demo in 2007, plus a single and two full-length albums.

Phil and Brock, although rumoured to initially be in Mike's band, Evacuate, have gone on to create a different band, A Bande Apart, a female fronted band based out of Los Angeles. The band broke up before recording any singles or albums although a demo was recorded.

In addition to A Bande Apart, Brock was the bassist for Smash 77 with Shawn Smash from Total Chaos and Danny, ex-drummer of the same band.

Phil has also played for the Long Beach based band "Three Two Ones". One 7" single, "Jenny" has been self-released as well as a second digitally released EP, "My Bones,". Both EPs were released in 2012. He left the band in the Fall of 2012 to focus on schooling.

Johnny O. Negative has played with Lower Class Brats and Total Chaos to fill in for open spots on their tours, he has also lived in Raleigh, North Carolina, working with No Revolution, No Revolution news at punknews.org]. Johnny joined the Lower Class Brats as a full-time member and after several years has left the band. Currently, Johnny lives in Austin, Texas.

Gabe (a.k.a. Gabe Cross, Gabe Sex, Gabe Skunt) has played drums for the San Diego garage styled band The Muslims for a short period of time, The Holy Boys (with former Cheap Sex guitarist Chris), and has been the lead singer in the Rock and Roll band The Desert Diamonds. The Desert Diamonds were very different sounding from Cheap Sex, the band had more of a classic rock influence hitting sounds comparible to T.Rex and Thin Lizzy.

Chance (Hurteau) (a.k.a. Chance Christ) had returned to being tattoo artist in 2005 under the name Chance Christ Superstar, and currently has been tattooing at Sideshow Tattoo in San Diego, California since 2009. He also does artwork using the name "EyesoreArt" for bands (most recently for the Lower Class Brats), Zines, and music releases. He continues to write music and play bass, and from time to time he appears in small music projects; but has no immediate plans to pursue music full time.

The band is scheduled to play a one-off reunion show on Jan 11th, 2013 at The Observatory Theatre in Santa Ana, CA with Lower Class Brats, The Scarred, and Media Blitz. The show is to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the first album, Launch off to War, being released. All the band members currently live scattered around the US (LA, NYC, SD, Austin, Dallas), so this is not a permanent reformation of the band, just one night only.
