Life After Poor Old Lu

After the group's initial break-up, band members moved on to independent projects. In 1997 Nick Barber joined up with Aaron Sprinkle in the group Rose Blossom Punch. The short-lived group also featured Paul Mumaw and Terry Coggins. Nick Barber also played in the bands Meekin Pop and Blue Collar Love. By the time Rose Blossom Punch split up, Aaron Sprinkle had gone onto to start his solo career, in which he would release 6 total albums from 1999 to 2004.

In 2005 Aaron Sprinkle formed the band Fair with Joey Sanchez, Nick Barber and Erik Newbill. Fair released its debut album, The Best Worst-Case Scenario, on Tooth and Nail Records in June 2006. Aaron produces records out of Compound Recording Studios in Seattle, WA. See http://www.aaronsprinkle.net for a complete discography of the records he has recorded and produced.

Brother Jesse Sprinkle moved to New York and has released numerous albums over the years under different name monikers such as Sunsites and the World Inside. He ran the recording studio the Illuminata in Dansville, New York until early 2006, when the studio closed. Jesse continues to play in a variety of bands including Morella's Forest, Serene, Demon Hunter, and Dead Poetic; as well as continue to record his own music.

In a December 2006 update on the Poor Old Lu website it was announced that former lead vocalist Scott Hunter has started a new band called This Diminishing West. While the band promised a debut disc sometime in early 2007, the band never seemed to have gotten off the ground. On the band's website Scott informed fans in a September 2007 update that the group had decided to call it quits.
