Yellow Second played a reunion show on May 9, 2008, at the Hi-Dive in Denver, Colorado, performing alongside the musical acts The Little Ones and Kissing Party.
In "The Rise and Fall of Five Iron Frenzy" DVD released in 2010, Scott Kerr described Yellow Second as "on-again, off-again," with no ambition of doing music for a living.
In 2011 John Warne of Relient K joined Yellow Second and they began work on a new album.[3] However, in late 2013 after joining the reunited Five Iron Frenzy, Kerr said that "There isn’t really a plan to do another [Yellow Second] record at this point."[4]
