A wider range of musical and sartorial influences were coming to the fore and the band felt they needed to move on from their roots to incorporate this eclectic perspective.
LeMat would undergo a further transformation too, undergoing a name change to reflect their changing sound, becoming 'Holy Joe and The Last Electric Showmen'.
LeMat may have only recorded the one album, but in their time were very influential and original, embodying the elusive entity of a band that looked right, had the musicianship and most importantly had the songs.
By the 1990s, LeMat's roles had gone from leading to supporting, and aside from American History X (1998), most of his roles were in bottom-of-the-barrel, B-grade schlock.
Genre fans still relished in his performances in such fare as Grave Secrets and Puppet Master (both 1989), but the most exposure LeMat received in the '90s was his role as the mayor in the Western series Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years.
In 2001, LeMat received his most substantial dramatic role in years as the best friend to a troubled Vietnam veteran in Arliss Howard's Big Bad Love.
