Busdriver released his first solo album Memoirs of the Elephant Man in 2001, followed by This Machine Kills Fashion Tips and Temporary Forever in 2002. 2003 brought a collaboration with Radioinactive and Daedelus for the album The Weather. He followed those albums with Cosmic Cleavage in 2004 and Fear of a Black Tangent in 2005. In 2005, he was also enlisted as a "Corn Ganggster" rapping with Th' Corn Gangg. He later appeared on Islands' song "Where There's a Will There's a Whalebone" from the album Return to the Sea. Nicholas Thorburn once again worked with Busdriver on the track "Crony Island" from Reefer's self-titled debut album in 2008. Busdriver is the executive producer of the 2009 album Watergate for Thirsty Fish, which consists of Psychosiz, Dumbfoundead and Open Mike Eagle. Busdriver's two albums, RoadKillOvercoat and Jhelli Beam, have been released on Epitaph Records. In 2010, he released a free mixtape Computer Cooties. In 2010, Busdriver started a band Physical Forms with Jeff Byron, who is a former member of The Mae Shi. The band has been described as "DIY punk" and "experimental pop" with members of the band displaying a reluctance to label their sound. Busdriver is the singer in the group and writes most of the music with Byron and other members. Physical Forms released a split 7" Hoofdriver with Deerhoof on Polyvinyl Records. Busdriver's another project is Flash Bang Granada, a collaboration with Nocando. They released the album, 10 Haters, on Hellfyre Club in 2011. Busdriver released "ATM" as a single from the album Beaus$Eros on Polyvinyl Records in 2011. The single was printed on a limited run of blue vinyl. Beaus$Eros was released on Fake Four Inc in 2012.
