They released a second single titled Don't worry 'bout The Night / Fools don't mind, before disappearing into Powerpop obscurity. Richard Snyder went on to play with Captain Beefhearts Band. If you look in the comments someone was nice enough to leave some info on the band.

Whatta great song. Awesome work, as always.
I can help you out here. The band was together for 2-3 years after this single. Pierre, Gary and Rick later went on to spend over fifteen years performing in The Mystery Band. Gary currently performs in several bands including The Groovy Rednecks and The Roadkill Kings. Pierre performs with a group called Wreck N Sow, and after Wreck N Sow's show this Saturday (4/9/11) at Mother's Tavern in Sunset Beach, CA, The Shake Shakes (minus Dave Musick) will reunite for the first time in several decades. Wreck N Sow at 3 pm...The Shake Shakes at 7:30ish. Google or Facebook search any of the bands mentioned for more info.
Excellent! wish I could have gone; thanks for all the info.
