[edit]Although the band never gave an officialpress releasewhenMelon Dieselbroke up in 2003, the reason given was that there was a difference in opinions concerning what language the song lyrics should be written in and the direction in which the band was moving in.[3]Ferro, Fa and Bugeja performed asNo Eye Dear.After some time, the trio went on to develop their main project, which would becomeTaxi.
