In 2005, bassist Jesse Vest left the group, wishing to spend more time with his family. He was replaced by Bruce LaFrance through mutual friend and touring band member Kevin McCreery. With Elliott Blakey in the producer’s chair, Tantric worked on the follow-up to After We Go , tentatively titled Tantric III . Scheduled for a May 2006 release, the band created over a dozen songs for the album such as “People”, “Worth Waiting For”, “Stay with You”, “Locked Out”, and Whitener’s lead singing performance, “July”. Less than two months prior to the album’s scheduled release, Tantric and Maverick Records parted ways in March 2006 as part of the label’s ongoing efforts at financial reorganization since 2004.
