Avi Buffalo is a band from Long Beach, California, headed by songwriter/guitarist Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg. The band signed to Sub Pop Records in late 2009 and released their self-titled debut on April 27th, 2010.
Avi began writing and recording songs at home on his computer during his 10th grade year in high school, and debuted a full electric band at the beginning of his junior year. The group — drummer Sheridan Riley and bassist Barbara Kramer (keyboardist and vocalist Rebecca Coleman and Bassist Arin Fazio left in August 2010. Rebecca now currently fronts Pageants)— played a number of local shows in Long Beach before being asked to play in Los Angeles. A year later Avi began recording songs with Aaron Embry, and these recordings began to form parts of the band’s first record.
