Each member of the band has expressed repeatedly that Stikky never officially broke up and is indeed still a band today, though they've not played together in perhaps 20 years. All are close and dear friends and have hinted at the possibility of an alcohol-induced reunion, but aren't sure what good that would be to anyone.

A posthumous anthology of all recordings of the band, titled Spamthology: Volume one (there was no volume two... get it), was released in 1997. It is now discontinued.
