They released two full-length albums – Farenheit (Dim Mak Records) and Drop in Standing (Ambassador) – as well as appearing on a split 7" single.
The group disbanded in 2000. Guevara then joined JeJune, Cate became a pro skater and then worked for a well-known coffee chain (“I went from grinding rails to grinding coffee”), Gamboa was in Kill Holiday, and Alejandria began focusing on martial arts. Over the lengthy hiatus, I Wish I played only a handful of shows after 1997.
In summer 2007, after seven years of nonactivity, I Wish I reunited its original quartet for a few shows. A new release, Convolutions (Dim Mak Records), came out in early 2013, recorded at Earthling Studios by Mike Kamoo. It was previewed by “Ideoglossia,” a video for the first single.
