May 1980

Sven and his mother are deported back to Germany.

Because of Michael Ochoa's increasing involvement with Outside projects Voxpop, Victory Acres and The Shadow Minstrels, Gerardo gives him an ultimatum to choose between Voxpop or Nervous Gender. Michael does not respond well to ultimatums and quits...Besides, Voxpop is a much more fun group of people to hang with. Ironically, Michael's Voxpop band mates Don Bolles rejoins NG and Singer Dinah Cancer joins on as back-up vocalist.
