However, the band soon found themselves faultering and Jermyn formed The Modern Rock Quartet with fellow band member John Martin and former Esquires members Coulthart and Orr along as an experiment in contemporary music without a guitarist. Their first professional show was the Innaugeration of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. This was followed by an opening slot for Paul Butterfield in Kingston, Ontario. They became residents for several months at New York's Cafe Au Go Go and also The Scene. As the band stumbled they even tried adding a guitarist, Pat Karwin, plus experiments with David Wiffen.
