Wizard reformed the Homosexuals in late 2003, playing with talented young musicians Dima Vincent and Sasha Reva from Ukraine. In 2004, this version of the band, along with former member Vida, launched Astral Glamour on Hyped2Death at Cobden’s Art Club in Notting Hill Gate . This coincided with a major art exhibition of Vida’s work at the same venue. Dima Vincent played the guitar with The Homosexuals from 2003 – 2006, after the departure formed a band called Found on Vincent Ward together with Ayşe Hassan (bass player from Savages). Celeste Bell, Poly Styrene’s daughter on backing vocals (2005). Around this time, Wizard met Ben Harris, who was playing with the Affectionate Punch. After discussing their musical backgrounds and approaches, Harris was enlisted to play bass at their next gig, five days later, after which he became a permanent feature in the European lineup. After three shows with Hayman back on guitar, Wizard travelled to New York City (which he had been visiting since 1986) and worked with Imaginary Icons as his backing band.
