At 12:25 AM on October 19, 2005, trombone player Dallas Cook was killed in a hit-and-run motorcycle accident on the Costa Mesa Freeway.
A few days after the incident, a large group of Suburban Legends' fans and Dallas' friends and family gathered nearby the ESPN Zone at Disneyland Resort's Downtown Disney, where the band played their many performances in the early 2000s, to share their memories of Cook.
On November 29, 2005, the band performed a benefit show for the Dallas Cook Memorial Fund, which was as set up in Cook's honor to donate money to the Huntington Beach High School instrumental music program.
The performance also featured former members Tim Maurer, Chris Maurer and Aaron Bertram returning for one final show, and trumpet player Vince Walker permanently switching to the vocalist position.

In 2006 the band recruited trombonist Phillip Inzerillo to replace Dallas Cook.
They released their first EP with Vince Walker on vocals, Dance Like Nobody's Watching, which showed the band's shift in style towards disco rock.
The band promoted the EP by appearing on G4's Attack of the Show!
on April 18, 2006.

On July 19, 2006, while they were on tour and in St. Louis, Missouri, Phillip Inzerillo woke up to notice the band's tour van was on fire.
The fire destroyed the front driver's side of the van.
The band's tour money had also been missing from the van.
It is suspected that the fire and robbery was caused by an arsonist.

At the end of the year, trombonist Phillip Inzerillo left the band without official announcement, and wasn't replaced.
Around this time keyboardist Dallas Kruse started performing with the band, despite never being listed as an official member.
