Sing the Body Electric never received major recognition. Singer Anthony Scalamere, who was known for his extreme views on contemporary music—as evidenced by an incident where he bragged about assaulting a person for wearing a Dashboard Confessional T-shirt —clashed with fellow band members. On May 26, 2005, after months of inactivity and a deadlock on Sing the Body Electric’s website, Scalamere proclaimed the breakup of the band on their message board in a profanity -plastered diatribe that implicated the unreachability of band members as a major factor. The post ended with the words “sing the body is dead”. In response to this, Adam Lewis wrote “Well if Sing The Body Electric is dead, YOU KILLED IT!” Eventually, Adam Lewis formed another band called Sub Rosa based in Los Angeles . Damon DeLaPaz has since formed alternative rock group Demasiado and punk/metal trio Laserwolf and Thunderbolt . He performed with Ape Machine , a rock band from Portland, Oregon , and recorded as a session drummer for various bands and musicians.
