The Allniters reformed with a new lead singer, Miss Velvet Vass (aka Juliana Vasilkov), and released "Nowhere Fast" on the Sound System Record label, with the album The Allniters disbanded again in 2001. They reformed in 2004 to support reggae band, UB40's Australian tour, but they did not record any new material.

I used to follow a Sydney cover band in 1997/98 called the All Nighters from Coogee through to Gosford doing the Pub Circuit.
They were a great group to ,listen to and really got the crowd going.
Don't know if its the same group or not.
Thanks, got the vinyl, love this band.
