Taryn is also an actress who has appeared on television in CSI: Miami, Boston Public, Sons of Anarchy, Hawaii Five-0 and Orange Is the New Black as well as the films Crazy/Beautiful, Crossroads, Hustle & Flow, and 8 Mile.

Boomkat is the result of many different influences, "everything from The Beatles to A Tribe Called Quest to Motown to Depeche Mode to Oasis," said Kellin Manning.

In an interview in October 2005's issue of Nylon, Taryn mentioned that Boomkat would be back eventually, and that she is writing songs for the new album once they find another record label.

The music video premiered on their official YouTube channel and Taryn Manning's Myspace page on April 8, 2008.

Boomkat was set to perform at Indie Fest USA 2008 on August 15, 2008 to support their album's promotion, but had to cancel the concert due to "family trouble" as Taryn Manning wrote in Myspace.
