After recording the tracks for Somewhere Under the Rainbow, the band accompanied Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman on a tour of North America on the 'Evening with Neil Gaiman & Amanda Palmer' tour. After travelling to Canada for a show in Vancouver, Dickins was not permitted re-entry into the United States. This period became referred to by Dickins, and fans, as "Dickins-In-Exile". Shortly after, the band returned to Australia.
