They added guitarist Nina Canal, who had little musical experience and bought a Fender Stratocaster. Photographer Daile Kaplan, using the pseudonym "Heddy Van Dyke", became the band's drummer.

Following the Gynecologists' first performance, Chatham left the group and formed a band named Arsenal so that he could focus on learning guitar. Kaplan was later replaced by Jim Sclavunos, whom the band knew from his work for NO Magazine. Brian Eno invited Chatham to contribute to his 1978 No New York compilation, but Chatham missed their recording session. The Gynecologists' biggest performance was at a May 1978 festival with Theoretical Girls at Artists Space. The group disbanded shortly after, with Sclavunos joining Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and Canal co-founding Ut. (en)
