Extra NOTES
:
All of the drums and bed tracks were recorded at Watchmen
Studios in Lockport, NY (engineered by Doug White) on January
23, 2020. The rest of the tracks were recorded locally and
remotely - from all across the world - all building upon the
same sonic foundation, to ensure "Buffalo Rock City" sounded
like a complete "album" of work.
The album also features several professional, pro circuit,
National and Worldwide musicians, who donated tracks to the
record as well. Contributions were made by Robby Takac (vocals),
Tommy Henriksen (vocals/bass), Tommy Denander (guitar), Deen
Castronovo (vocals), Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (guitar), Philip
Shouse (bass/guitar), Jeremy Asbrock (guitar), Ryan Spencer Cook
(vocals) & Mitch Weissman (vocals).
Mitch Weissman's lead vocals in his “While The City Sleeps”
marks a significant note in "KISStory." His song originally
appeared on KISS' 1984 release, Animalize. This is the first
time a KISS co-writer re-recorded a new studio version of a KISS
song that he wrote with the band!
Another legend in KISS recording lore is Jay Messina. Messina,
who mastered Buffalo Rock City, has been working with KISS since
1976, engineering and mixing the band's breakout album
Destroyer. He engineered and mixed 1979’s Dynasty and co-mixed
the next album, Unmasked (1980). |
