After the demise of 'Damage', some of the members formed a band called 'The YaYa's', who played a Mod style R&B around Southampton in the early 80's and had a residency at the Rum Runners pub on Queens Park Terrace. (before it was turned into a bank)

 Dave Oakley was also in a Mod band called 'The Hideaways' who recorded a compilation track for the 'Biff Bang Pow' label and now plays in the excellent  'Bang Bang Lulu', who do Northern Soul and 2 Tone stuff.
