After the breakup of that group, he joined Iron Butterfly, and later formed the group Ramatam. Pinera was then the founding member of the band New Cactus, a later incarnation of the band Cactus.

Thee Image was formed in 1974 by Mike Pinera (Cactus/Blues Image/Iron Butterfly/New Cactus Band), Duane Hitchings (Buddy Miles) and Donny Vosburgh (Buddy Miles). The name of the group was taken from a Miami psychedelic rock venue. They released two albums, "Thee Image" and "Inside The Triangle", both in 1975 and on Manticore Records (ELP's UK-based record label). Their music is heavy rock with stong hints of funky.
