The Band Broke Up: Opium Taylor's 'Boy-White City'



Last week, we took a look at Frontier Nebraska’s LP Speed Nebraska, made and produced in 1995 by North Platte natives A.J. and Mike Mogis. So it’s fitting that this week we consider another Mogis brothers album from 1995 at WhoopAss Studios: Opium Taylor’s Boy-White City, also released by Caulfield Records.

This Lincoln band was active from ‘93-’97, during which they recorded a  single, Sun Foil/Living (‘94), and two albums: Boy-White City and Fade Machine Fade Magazine (‘97).

Constant members included Chris Heine (vocals), Pat Noecker (bass) and Matt Focht (drums). The band also cycled through a few guitar players: Mike Mogis (‘93-’94), Matt Silcock (‘94-’97) and Jeremiah McIntyre (‘97).

Boy-White City marked Opium Taylor’s first full-length release, and almost their last, as the band broke up in ‘95.

“Opium Taylor’s last show was their CD release show,” recalled Caulfield label chief Bernie McGinn in a 2005 interview with Lazy-i columnist and HN contributor Tim McMahan.
