Nachdem ich gestern mit großer Langeweile und aus Frust über das schlechte Wetter mich durch die Weiten der Musik des Internets geklickt habe, fand ich zufällig eine Band die sich "It's a Buffalo" nennt. Großer Name für eine Band, dacht' ich mir so, ein Büffel hat ja schon etwas mächtiges an sich, ob diese Band das erfüllen kann, vorallem wenn sie nicht einmal aus den USA kommt, sondern aus Manchester, England? Myspace-Profil gesucht und erstmal angehört. "Seaslide" hatte mich kaum gepackt ging es doch gleich mit "Marbles" weiter. Mehr gepackt, war ich. Großartig dachte [...]
"I don't know my left from right." Take equal parts alt-country, a fusion of folk and punk, and a group of lads from Manchester and you've got the unconventionally, but perhaps very appropriately, named band It's A Buffalo . The new disc, Don't Be Scared , is fantastic. Each track is anchored by a great Replacements-type lead guitar riff. That was enough for me - I can't see past the Westerberg. Londoners can, and should, head down to Brixton in order catch [...]

Am I the only nerd who gets really annoyed when people misuse the phrase "winter of our discontent"? It doesn't mean that things are fucking sad, assholes. Winter = END, therefore the phrase means "now is the end of our unhappiness". All the bullshit was made into a glorious summer, and everything got totally awesome. What don't you get about that? While we're at it, "wherefore art thou" means "why are you", as in "Romeo, oh Romeo, why the fuck do you gots to be Romeo? Shit would be mad easier if you wasn't." Now that I've [...]
Fuck me, I'm glad that's over with. Did you find that as dull as I did? Four consecutive posts about major bands on major labels that you could all just as easily have read about in Q Magazine. I even liked the Elbow and REM albums, but I still felt slightly dirty [...]
O quarteto britânico Its a Buffalo (é mesmo sem apóstrofe) tem sido alvo de atenção por alguns media europeus, nomeadamente os da casa mãe (UK, veja-se NME de 1 Mar '08) e por alguns ruídos vindos de terras francesas, pelo lançamento oficial do seu segundo single 'Divorce Song/Somewhere in Range', após o também interessante single de lançamento, 'Broken Toy/Climb Climb', quase no fim de 2007.
So this year's Manchester In The City has been and gone - how was it for you? A fixture pile-up in the days before ITC even started (on Friday last week), meant that I went to gigs five out six nights in the row... and have been paying for it all this week. I took photos at most of the shows I went to, but only on my smaller digital camera - I didn't trust myself getting pissed whilst trying to look after expensive equipment! In the days leading up to ITC I saw:- [...]
