The band toured extensively on the strength of the single I Can Buy You: the touring band included members of Soundtrack Of Our Lives as well as the above mentioned studio players. The album was awarded four Swedish Grammies. In late 2007, NYC recording sessions included Joan Wasser, Nikolai Dunger, James Iha. The second album,
