Gallo has not asked any former RRIICCEE members to continue as part of the group since the end of their 2008 tour ending in San Diego. Instead he has remained the only publicly listed member of RRIICCEE. He has since stated the band has new members and those names will be announced before the next RRIICCEE tour planned in late 2010 dates.
