After the Senseless Things disbanded in '95, Mark was rumored to have joined the Wildhearts. Life with the Wildhearts was short lived, but Mark did appear on the b-sides (and cover) of the Wildhearts' 'Just In Lust' single. His backing vocals are very prevalent on the songs 'Friend For Five Minutes' and 'S.I.N. (in sin)'. Mark quickly formed Jolt with BB Mets in 1996. The band released a few singles and an EP, and toured with 3 Colours Red before calling it a day in 1998. In 2000 Mark posted 2 new songs on a web site under the band name 'Trip Fontaine'. In late 2002 he was doing spoken word, and in January of 2003 he performed his first show with his new band The Lams. At the time he began going by the name 'Mark Hammerton' and is credited as a co-writer for the Libertines' 'Can't Stand Me Now' under that name.
The Lams performed their last gig in Januaury 2006. On March 4, 2007 Mark made a triumphant return to the stage at Islington Academy for the 'Tribute For Wiz' show. Billed as 'Mark Keds', he was joined by ex-bandmates Ben Harding and Cass Browne, and ran through 5 Senseless Things classics (sadly Morgan couldn't join as he was on tour in Japan with Muse). Mark has pointed out 'if Morgan aint playin then it aint *senseless things*', and this could be the closest the world comes to seeing a Senseless Things reunion. After the 'almost reunion' Mark began to perform under the band names 'Like a Bitch' or 'Mark Keds LAB'. He currently performs and DJs in the London area.
