The band have had video clips air on Channel V, Rage[3] and Video Hits, along with national radio airplay for a cover they did of Delta Goodrem's "Lost Without You".

On 10 August Fido announced with "much love" that they were "no more".[4]

The final line up of Fido was David Temby, Jesse Chatelier, Alex DesForges and Daniel Kelaart.

gollark: Somewhat, yes.
