Other projectsEdit

Sanders and Campbell performed in a Nirvana tribute band, Nirvanarama, its other members were Chris Daymond (Jebediah) on guitar and Drew Goddard (Karnivool lead guitarist) on drums.<ref name="Verne">Template:Cite news</ref> Nirvanarama played its inaugural show at the Rocket Room venue in Perth at the Smells like Christmas Spirit, Christmas party.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Cbignore</ref> They played another set of tribute shows in December 2013.<ref name="Verne"/>
The support act were Dead Glorious, a street punk group which includes Gyroscope guitarist, Trivic, together with Fergus Deasy (Little Birdy), Matt Pirga (The Reserves) and Matthew Radich (The Critics).
Gyroscope frontman Sanders also started a band in mid 2014, called 'Heard Of Cows?', with two members of Karnivool. The lineup consists of Sanders on vocals/guitar, Jono Stockman (Karnivool bassist) on bass/vocals and Drew Goddard (Karnivool lead guitarist) on drums/vocals. Bands they have played alongside include the Meat Puppets, Brant Bjork, the Hard-Ons, Förstöra.
Nassif purchased a rehearsal studio, Hen House Rehearsal Studios, in May 2010 in Osborne Park.<ref name="HHRS">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It is the same location where Gyroscope had written four of their albums. Nassif described this venue as "a place where bands and musicians can hang out with friends, create amazing music and have fun."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Artists which have rehearsed there include Jebediah, Drapht, Kryptonics, Wrath of Fenrir and Monument.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In the Aussie winter of 2018, Sanders revealed a solo project called XIII (pron. 'thirteen') and released the debut album titled Bloody Banks of the Swan. Wanting to play these songs live, Sanders (vocals/guitar) enlisted old mates Mykal Deville (bass/vocals) and Drew Goddard (drums/vocals). On 2 March 2019 they played their debut show and filmed parts of a super 8 music video for "I Want An Axe To Break The Ice" at Perth City Limits Festival @ Badlands Bar, Perth.
2018 saw Campbell, Sanders and Trivic build their own purpose built recording studio called The Skullery. Situated in their hometown of Perth in a suburb called Malaga, in a recent interview with Alice Cooper they mentioned that "The Skullery is a legends only creative space."
ReflectionsEdit
Nassif, as part of his ownership and management of The Hen House Rehearsal Studios, continues to update a section entitled "Ideas" on the business' website as of November 2012. Nassif has used the blog to provide advice for newer musicians and bands with reflections from his time with Gyroscope. In a post entitled, "It's not the most talented bands that make it. It's the most persistent!", Nassif explains that Gyroscope recorded its debut album seven years after formation and that a significant contributing factor to the maintenance of the band, as well as other bands, was the equal apportioning of songwriting royalties to all band members:
I think this is incredibly important for young bands because it sets the tone for everyone's roles with in the band. It encourages the members who may not be contributing to the song writing to make sure they contribute in other areas. Such as running the Facebook pages, sourcing the merchandise designs, booking gigs and organising the rehearsal studio.
It means picking up any slack, so that even if your not directly involved with the songwriting your still pushing the band forward with your other responsibilities. Great songs alone will not get your band to where you want to go unless your doing all the smaller things really well too.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
On 3 November 2012, Nassif uploaded a post entitled "3 Reasons Your Band Should Play More Live Shows!", in which he reveals that "Gyroscope has never earned a cent from any of our 4 album releases."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
