1998, SAF Publishing released "Lunar Notes", Bill Harkleroad's book on his time with Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band.

October 2002, Bill Harkleroad mentioned in an interview with Patrick Neve at Patrick's radio show  ('The Big Note', Campus Radio, Eugene, Oregon - also on the internet) that he had gotten together with Denny Walley, Mark Boston and John French to reform the Magic Band. Unfortunately, when the project got real, Bill couldn't make it.
