Put together another lineup

Wizard put together another lineup of the Homosexuals in late 2007, including bassist Mike Dos Santos (of Apache Beat , Brendan Benson and the Realistics), drummer Travis Harrison (the owner of label Serious Business Records ), and guitarist Dave Siegel (a childhood friend of Harrison). Their fierce live performances, a combination of classic and new material paired with experimental explorations and free improvisational pieces, seemed to herald a new era for the band. In 2008, a fresh body of work was recorded at Serious Business’ Soho studio, some of which was documented on the limited edition Love Guns? EP . A full album titled Important If True was suspended from release the following year while negotiations took place between Wizard and Harrison, but later released online. During the recording of this material, Harrison was being courted by digital distribution and licensing company The Orchard , for his label’s catalogue. At the time, The Orchard already handled the digital distribution for The Homosexuals’ CD and Astral Glamour , an agreement which ended 30 June 2009, and were keen to secure the rights to the material being worked on with Wizard and Serious Business. To this effect, Wizard performed some of the new material at The Orchard’s office in Manhattan, and Harrison and Serious Business signed their current catalogue to The Orchard. Unfortunately, there was never any legal agreement between Wizard and Harrison for any of this material to be assigned anywhere. The matter has yet to be resolved.
