In addition, the band credits the creative involvement of a mysterious, older British musician known as W. Shears, who has appeared on stage with the band. It is rumored that Shears is actually [[William Shears Campbell]], but Schneider and Morris deny this claim. Though the song "Subscriptions to Magazines" had been released on the internet, the band did not release a full-length album until 2009. On November 9, their first album, ''Buddha Electrostorm'', was released in the United States on [[Garden Gate Records]]. The album was reissued internationally in 2011 on [[Fire Records (UK)]].

Thee American Revolution's rotating live band membership has included [[Otto Helmuth]] (drums), [[Bill Doss]] (bass), [[John Ferguson (musician)|John Ferguson]] (bass), [[Marci Schneider]] (Mellotron) and other players close to the [[Elephant 6]] collective.
