[1] The duo has teamed with a number of percussionists including drummer Scott Carneghi who joined Taylor and Kaducak to form a power trio, even prior to the Buffalocomotive moniker, after completing the final leg of the 2003 Ozzfest Tour with Grade 8.
[4][5] Founding members Brahm Taylor and Marc Kaducak remained a collaborative constant throughout several musical projects in the Chicago area before recruiting former high school classmate Carneghi into the fold.
Buffalocomotive was the subject of a promotional photo shoot on September 7, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada that included several shots in and around the home and vehicle of actress, songwriter and all-time girlfriend of Ed Wood, Dolores Fuller.
The long distance sessions culminated in 13 previously unreleased tracks with audio mastering by Geoff Pesche and Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
The rock opera tells the linear story of the title characters, an eight-foot tall mechanical man that cries .45 Long Colt bullets and a peg legged albino Paiute, as they traverse an anachronistic late 18th century American southwest in an effort to vanquish a rash of vampiric beings presented more as a galactic plague than Earthly monsters.
[17] Taylor records exclusively with two Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitars, affectionately called ‘Black’ and ‘Blue’ on account of their respective finishes, amplified through an Ampeg SVT full-stack with SVT-CL head and SVT-810 and SVT-215 cabinets.
