Bassist Mike McCabe left the band in March 2005, shortly after the release of Suck Fony ; he was replaced by Nicolas diPierro. The band subsequently began recording a new album in April 2005, and three months later, the first single, “BMX Bandits”, was released. In October 2005, the band’s third studio album, Too Soon Monsoon , was issued. Since early 2010, it has been available via a ” pay what you want ” donation scheme via the band’s official website. Days after the release, Bellar left the band, and Gerard Hoffmann replaced him. A second single, ” The London Sun” , was released in February 2006. diPierro departed the band and was replaced by bassist Matt Milligan. A further lineup change occurred in May 2006, when drummer Pete Brown quit music to get married. He was replaced with Kevin Garcia, leaving Brendan Brown as the only remaining original member. The next lineup change occurred five days later, when Froggatt left the band due to pregnancy. She was replaced by Connie Renda, who, in turn, traded places with Missy Heselton. In February 2007, Wheatus joined the UK leg of the Get Happy Tour, along with founders Bowling for Soup and Army of Freshmen and British pop-punk band Son of Dork , for a sold-out 13-show tour. Liz Brown and Missy Heselton both left the group around this time.
