Weenie Roast released an EP on Kevin Seconds' Positive Force label in 1987, and their song "Flowerpot" was included on the Nuf Sed compilation 'Not All That Terrifies Harms' in 1992.

Weenie Roast disbanded in 1989, but its members went on to play solo and in various other bands, including SF Seals, Throw Like A Girl, The Rarebit Fiends, Blinky, Lava, Lady Cop and Swive.
