The Almighty Buck
1999-2002, New York, NY: Tim Kochanski formed the band, The Almighty Buck, in 1999 with drummer, Jesse Wallace, after the breakup of their high school turned college band, Cotton Mouth/Bootmill Flavor. Writing, and performing in New York City and Brooklyn, the band filled out with percussionist/drummer, Matt Brundrett, bassist Ricardo Ortiz, banjo/rhythm guitarist, Doug Cote and Tim on vocals/guitars. The group recorded a full length length album, “Horse and Rider”, on 2" tape, which showcased the evolving lean towards Americana in Tim's songwriting, a step away from the avante-garde grunge jam band of CMBF.
2002-2005, Waltham, MA: Tim teamed up with former UMass Lowell college side-project drummer, Josh Fleischmann and brought in bassist, Jeff Dudziak, whom he met at a local open mic. The group performed in the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville, Lowell, and NYC. They self recorded the 5 song EP, “So Long”, mixed by Joel Plante.
2012-today, Boston, MA: After living in NJ for some years and starting a new family, they moved back to the Boston area where eventually, Tim wrestled his way back into the music scence. Another version of TAB formed as a rocking 4 piece with Jeff Woods on drums, Leah Ladato on bass, and Erik Von Doetsch on guitar. The group has an album's worth of new songs ready to record.
