 In 2015, Cowell crowd-funded and launched his solo project and self-titled album Damian Cowell's Disco Machine, the album including notable entertainment personalities such as Kathy Lette, Tony Martin and Shaun Micallef, Lee Lin Chin, The Bedroom Philosopher, Kate Miller-Heidke, Tim Rogers and John Safran - most of whom performed at the sold out show at The Corner Hotel in late February 2015. This show followed the announcement that Australia would be invited to enter the Eurovision Song Contest and a petition was started on Change.org to reunite TISM as Australia's representatives. The petition received national news coverage in Australia after amassing several thousand signatories on its first day.
