Late in 1966 Hardy was replaced by [[Duncan McGuire (musician)|Duncan McGuire]], from [[Doug Parkinson]]'s group the Questions, for three weeks. McGuire appeared on the band's version of [[Sam and Dave]]’s "[[Hold On, I'm Comin' (song)|Hold On, I’m Coming]]", backed by "Your Mother Should Have Warned You", before Hardy (now using the name, Virgil East) returned for the band's first trip to Melbourne in March 1967. Like its predecessor, the new single was a minor hit. While in Melbourne the group performed at the Catcher night club, from 17 to 19 March, with various local bands each night. The group returned for an extended stay from 30 March to 16 April.
In April 1967 Dave MacTaggart from Adelaide band the Black Pearls replaced Virgil East. On 11 June, the group appeared on Opus TV with [[The Loved Ones (Australian band)|the Loved Ones]] and [[Ray Hoff]] and the Off Beats. The new line-up released the band's final Australian single, "It's a Wonder", backed by "I Keep Forgetting", in August before Welsh left to be replaced by saxophone player. [[Bernie McGann]].
