  She became well known in the late 1980s as a trade show "traffic stopper" first doing live demonstrations of the capabilities of the Video Toaster from NewTek. She was the premiere operator of this product that innovated in the field of desktop video, and her image was embedded within the product as her silhouette formed the basis for several innovative animated transitions.

The band received nationwide exposure when one of their songs was included in the roast of William Shatner seen on Comedy Central. Kiki and the band appeared on the October 2006 cover of Wirehed Magazine.
  Following the death of Montgomery, Play Inc. also closed. Stockhammer has returned to NewTek, demonstrating its TV station in a box concept product, TriCaster.
  Stockhammer made a cameo appearance in an episode of Babylon 5, the first TV series to use the Lightwave 3D animation program sold by NewTek with the Video Toaster.
