At one of their earlier shows, Mark Eitzel approached the band and proclaimed himself to be a huge fan, which led to Eitzel, Bruce Kaphan and Vudi producing Timco's first album, Friction Tape. Kaphan co-engineered the album and Eitzel put up some of the money to finance their second album, Gentleman Jim.
Thomson went on to form the San Francisco post-punk band Enablers, while MacMurray left after Timco's first album and formed Tina, Age 13.
