A few weeks back , MOKB hipped you to the happenings of Buffalo Killers . Their forthcoming tour with The Black Crowes is still two weeks off, but their work in the studio with Dan Auerbach is producing low wine in the form of Don't You Ever Think I Cry . This tune, originally recorded by the short-lived British band Rockin' Horse (no, not these guys ) on their lone album, 1970's Yes It Is [...]
The Buffalo Killers have been a favorite of ours for quite some time. Their spankin' new single is a cover of British cult band, Rockin' Horse, called "Don't You Ever Think I Cry?" It's quite good. Here's the link to our live session with the Buffalo Killers . Buffalo Killers - Don't You Ever Think I Cry? Here are their tour dates with The Black Crowes: September 28 @ Les Schwab Amphitheater - Bend, OR September 29 @ Crystal Ballroom - Portland, OR September 30 [...]
My father was the first music critic I ever met. He didn't have a rating system or use clever analogies; hell, he didn't even have an outlet. His method was simple. If he heard a song he liked, he pounded his hand on the nearest solid object (tabletop, steering wheel, my head, etc.) and proclaimed to no one in particular, "Good music. Good music." In time I figured out that "good music" translated loosely into big guitars and no bullshit. If my father were writing about Buffalo Killers , this post would be [...]
1. Night's like tonight (Friday) are the reason I love living in Chicago so much. Playing together at the historic Metro are two HearYa Live Session alums. Cracklin Moth and The Record Low take the stage at 9 tonight. Also at Schubas, Oz's favorites (and subsequent influence for the infamous " Pitchfork Ass Blowing " post) Scott H. Biram and Radio Moscow are playing at 10. This would normally be a difficult choice for me; deciding between 2 bands that I know I like but have seen [...]
The most modern thing about the Buffalo Killers is their early 90s white conversion van, grayed out "racing" stripes and bottle opener on the back door included. They have packing it down to a science. Every guitar case, padded amp, and drum case, even both (yes both) kick drum cases, has its own specific place within the back. Even the order of packing is down to a science and one might even consider it entertainment to see them make it work. The Buffalo Killers would be returning to Cincinnati the next day, but only after [...]
Here are the pictures from the show last night (plus a video of a new Spoon song, "Cherry Bomb"). Interestingly enough, I contacted the band's management (via the promotions company, The Hive Media) about taking photos at the show before we got there, because the ticket said, "No Photography/Recording Devices", and they told me that I was not allowed to take photos at the show. It's interesting because not only were there loads of flashbulbs present at the show, but as you may have noticed in last night's review, Britt actually posed for a photo specifically for ThaBombShelter, [...]
Buffalo Killers self-titled release on Alive Records is a lesson on how to draw a filthy, dirty, no-frills collection. Zach and Andrew Gabbard and Jospeh Sebaali, formerly of underated Fat Possum act Thee Shams reformed to turn out a disc that will be a revelation for fans of The Black Crowes. And not that pussy, Kate Hudson version of the Crowes; the filthy Amorica version of the Crowes. This album is rooted in the 70's. I half expected to hear Gabbard's mother walk in at any moment to tell them to turn it down [...]
Zachary and his fellow wolf, Andrew. Brothers of the howl. The wind and the River. The sound of the lighting bolt Joseph. Loud as a falling star. Two close their eyes, one opens them wide and awaits the spear. The warrior shines as brightly as a star when the mouths are open and the spirits of sound embrace the air. The wind will tell you, the river will purify you and the spear will change you. I didn't write it. I would have written something like this: Buffalo Killers are three [...]
