In 1990, at All About Eve’s commercial peak, guitarist Tim Bricheno left the band that he had formed with singer Julianne Regan in the early 80s. The two were finding it too difficult to work with one another, following the end of an ill-fated relationship. Bricheno was quickly hired to play in The Sisters of Mercy, where the majority of his work was done live rather than in a studio. Subsequent bands, XC-NN and Tin Star followed before he withdrew from the frontlines of the music business.
Julianne Regan dissolved All About Eve a few years after Bricheno's departure and, in-between various day jobs, remained musically creative on the margins in a host of projects, including an album of covers with Wayne Hussey, an album of indie-pop under the name Mice, several co-writes and vocals with The Eden House, and backing vocals on a number of songs for The Mission. Both worked as lecturers in higher education in the UK.
