broke up

After the release of their second album, Batch , Big Drill Car parted ways with the now-“classic” original line-up. Bob had announced that he was leaving the band to play in another band, Xtra Large, who was on the verge of a major label deal. The show was at the PALACE in Los Angeles. It was the biggest of the “VIVA CRUZ” shows (annual shows, show casing the Cruz bands ALL, Big Drill Car and Chemical People ). Bob was more active and animated on stage that night than ever before. Bob was replaced by Darren Morris. Darren fit in perfectly – he was a big fan, a super nice guy and he knew all the songs already. Not long after Darren joined the band, Danny left. Danny was replaced by a few drummers including Jamie Reidling (Cadillac Tramps/ US Bombs ) and Keith Fallis (former drummer for Carnival Art ). They went on to release 2 more records with Keith in the band Cargo Records , Toured (A Live Album) which was an earlier recording with the original lineup and No Worse for the Wear , which Keith plays on. While No Worse for the Wear still never broke the band into mainstream audiences, the release of the album would gain Big Drill Car a little success and supporting slots on national and world tours with bands such as The Offspring (who had just released Smash to unexpected success and acclaim) and Guttermouth . After this, Big Drill Car broke up in 1995.
