They released two more singles on the Au-go-go label: "High School / Trouble With Love" and "She Lets Me Know / It's Over." Rob Griffiths released the single "Melody"/"Waiting" during this time under the name Dance Set in 1981. By 1982 the lineup comprised Rob Griffiths, Rod Hayward (guitar), Chris Hunter (bass), and Michael Barclay (drums). Unable to secure a new record deal, Griffiths broke up the band in December 1983. The band had a revival of sorts in 1985 when Polyester Records issued the "100 Drugs / The Beat Goes On" single (recorded in 1983 and 1979, respectively). Au-go-go issued the retrospective album of singles and unreleased work titled 'Stop!' in 1986. A full revival followed in late 1995 when Griffiths recorded a new album, 'And Stuff Like That', with Rod Hayward, Phil Wales (guitar), Craig Pilkington (guitar), Tony Ennis (bass), and Dave Foley (drums).
The album was released in June 1997 and comprised new and previously released material. Griffith's took Little Murders on the road with another lineup consisting of Tony Ennis, Paul Thomas (guitar), and Michael Barclay (drums) from Weddings, Parties, Anything. Their third album, 'First Light', was released on the Swerve label in September 1998 and produced the singles "10,000 Guitars" and "Andy Warhol Retrospective."
This was followed by the album 'We Should be Home By Now' in 2001 also on Swerve. After another long hiatus Little Murders returned with a compilation of their early tracks on the Off The Hip label. Since the launch of that album in August 2009 at the Tote they have become a regular fixture on the Melbourne gig circuit and have supported a number of international acts. In 2011 they released the superb 'Dig For Plenty' album to excellent reviews. Further albums followed: 'Go' in 2015 and 'Hi Fab' in 2016, 'Dromana-Rama' in 2019 and 'Anglesea 1981' in 2020.
