Coaxed by Avi Buffalo
While on a recent break from heavy touring Avi Buffalo was kind enough to blaze through three songs in Room 205. With director Otto Arsenault (Matt & Kim's "Lessons Learned") helming the lens and engineer Butchy Fuego capturing the audio, our time with Avi, Sheridan and Andrew proved to be entertaining and incredibly illuminating.
Headed by songwriter/guitarist Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg, Avi Buffalo hails from Long Beach, CA. Avi began recording music on a home computer during his sophomore year of high school. He debuted a full electric band the next year, playing a number of local shows in Long Beach and LA.
A year later, Avi Buffalo began recording with engineer Aaron Embry (Elliott Smith and Emmylou Harris). The band signed to Sub Pop in late-2009, releasing its self-titled debut of intricate yet lovely pop songs in April 2010, and extensively toured the US, Europe, and the UK. This is when according to Avi, "Everything got kind of freaky!"
