Ben Calvert has also played with Killing Joke and more recently, Malpractice – which also contains Mark Chapman, (an ex-member of A) and Adam F. Ben Calvert is now the drummer for Calvin Harris. Guitarists Ant Forbes and Nick Goulding both Tour Manage bands. Bassist Keith Lambert played a brief stint with Martin Grech and now works in computers.
