The two also spent hours writing out elaborate counterpoint dual guitar solos and recording them. Other than playing guitar, Rivers, Mike and some of their friends would go out for pizza at night or take the subway around. They also saw ''Rocky Horror Picture Show''. Together, the two honed their sense of relative pitch. After the music program, Rivers convinced Mike to move to Connecticut to join Avant Garde. Around this time, Steven and Beverly Kitts began having marital problems, which would eventually end in a divorce. Despite the divorce impending, Rivers' house was band headquarters. There, the band would hang out with Leaves, work at Domino's Pizza, play ''Zelda'' and ''Metroid'' on Nintendo, eat at Denny's, play at arcades, and always focused on the music. There were no alcohol or drugs allowed. | The two also spent hours writing out elaborate counterpoint dual guitar solos and recording them.

According to Michael Stanton, Rivers was, by this time, a "rock star in the area". According to him, one of Rivers' favorite pastimes was calling up girls and talking to them "seemingly all night". "In my impression at the time, he was making himself miserable quite a bit [to write songs]," he said. Around this time, Rivers parents were finalizing a divorce. | According to Michael Stanton, Rivers was, by this time, a "rock star in the area".
