In 2003, the two members self-released the album in a handmade run of 300 CDs, which were eventually discovered by music journalist Jarret Keene in Balcony Lights, a local record store the duo frequented.
[3][4][5] Soon after the release, Las Vegas CityLife alternative-weekly newspaper published an album review, written by Keene, exposing the music to a larger fan base.
[1][5][6] With the addition of Chris Rogers (bass), Gary Wright (drums), Jimi "Fuzz" Berg (Percussion), and Mike “Lazer” Lavin (sound), Black Camaro embarked on its first tour in Spring 2004.
[6] After returning home from the tour, Black Camaro moved their equipment into the 910, which were two side-by-side storage units converted into a recording studio that also served as a rehearsal space for the band, and had no bathroom and no air conditioning.
After renting a warehouse next door to their local Sam Ash Music, Black Camaro constructed sets and began filming scenes written by the band to coincide with the EP.
[17] The majority of the project was shot as live action starring Jeff Ford of The Big Friendly Corporation in the lead role, while the midpoint of the video veers off into a cartoon sequence that was hand painted and animated by artist Casey Weldon.
[18][19] In June 2008, after several months of writing and pre-production, Garth and Miller traveled to Eugene, OR, met with sound engineer Mike “Lazer” Lavin, and the band entered Gung-Ho Studio.
With several hosted shows and guest appearances, as well as comical commercials for phony drug stores and 12 of the band's songs, the best-of album quickly received praise from as far north as Oregon.
Michael Landon 2004 Western Region Semi-Finals is a collage of live video footage combined with audio mixes from a 16-track recorder that accompanied the band on the road, and quirky “on the bus” moments sprinkled throughout.
The event was described by Jason Bracelin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal as having "skits involving dudes with boxes on their heads playing UNO, a Navajo version of Auld Lang Syne, some stand-up comedy that may or may not be deliberately unfunny and plenty more.
On December 25, 2014 Black Camaro released The Last Menagerie to surprised fans, as the 11 song album was kept under wraps until it appeared on the band's website at midnight on Christmas morning with a "name your price" option.
[45] The band released a music video for the single in April 2019, written and animated by guitarist Brian Garth, with artwork hand drawn by singer TG Miller.
Protocol of Dreams was well received by critics, being described as "incredibly palatable" by Razorcake magazine, who praised the "slick production, and thoughtful songs", while comparing the album's sound to Beatles pop and Oasis.
[47][48] Released on July 4, 2020, Daydream Delphi is loosely based on the band's 2016 live residency at Las Vegas venue The Bunkhouse Saloon, and includes recorded dialog in the form of scenes from a fictional television soap opera, sandwiched between 10 original songs.
[49] On May 18, 2021, Las Vegas-based NHL team the Vegas Golden Knights chose ‘’Guest Star in a One Man Show’’ from Daydream Delphi as the featured track of the night at their play-off game at T-Mobile Arena.
