Sound engineer Daniel Rickard (guitar, organ, bass) and Jeremy Wheatley (drums), both of whom had joined Parker & Lily for the final record, continued with Noon for the new band. They released Fire on the Bright Sky in September 2006, and a second full-length, Shining Violence, followed in 2008. Amid revolving lineups, including their sometimes 14-piece touring band, a third album was repeatedly delayed until 2014 when Noon, by then going by the name Monk Parker, announced a rebranding of the band, also to be called Monk Parker. Their debut album, How the Spark Loves the Tinder, arrived in 2015. ~ Kenyon Hopkin & Marcy Donelson
