In 2008, Disband reunited to perform at

P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center as part of the exhibition "Wack! Art and the Feminist Revolution.".[5] This show originated at Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.[6]

The core members of Disband were Ilona Granet, Donna Henes, Ingrid Sischy, Diane Torr, and Martha Wilson.[1] Early band members included Barbara Ess, Daile Kaplan, April Gornick, and Barbara Kruger who wrote a couple of their songs.[1]

Besides their roles as artists, the members were active in the downtown scene. Ilona Granet, Barbara Ess and Daile Kaplan played in other bands like Static, the Y Pants, and The Gynecologists. Martha Wilson was the founder of Franklin Furnace, an exhibition space. Ingrid Sischy was editor of Artforum and Interview.
