After Breakup
Despite Zoot adopting a new visual image in 1970 and their use of more daring, harder-edged lyrics and heavier, louder music, including the hard rock rendition of The Beatles' ballad "Eleanor Rigby", the Think Pink - Think Zoot image persisted.
After Zoot, Birtles and Cotton almost immediately formed a duo called Darryl and Beeb, which became Frieze when they were sponsored by Frieze Brothers (a clothing company). The band released a single, "Feelings" in September 1971 on Sparmac Records and an album, BC 1972, on Warner Brothers in June 1972, using session musicians. Frieze disbanded in May and Cotton travelled to America while Birtles joined Mississippi (previously known as Allison Gros and then as Drummond). Mississippi evolved into Little River Band in 1975.
Springfield also signed with Sparmac and released "Speak to the Sky" in October 1971, which peaked at No. 5 on Go-Set National Top 40. Sparmac label owner, Robie Porter, was also producer and manager for Springfield. After recording his debut album, Beginnings in London, Springfield moved to the United States in mid-1972, where he achieved international fame as a solo artist, songwriter and actor.
Brewer drummed for a succession of bands including, Cashbox, Bootleg, Whole Man and I'Tambu before joining The Ferrets in 1976, which had a No. 2 hit with "Don't Fall in Love" on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart. He has also drummed for Jim Keays (ex-The Masters Apprentices) in his band Southern Cross and subsequently for The Motivators and Greg Baker's Blues Party.
