BUFFALO CREEK BAND BIO

Full Band Bio, Please Click:

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA'S BUFFALO CREEK:

Touring and recording since 1997, Buffalo Creek received their first radio airplay with a single from their self titled six song E.P. which allowed them to tour extensively which brought them to the attention of Wild Oak Records and Vina Loam Records. Since then, the band has established themselves a continuous touring circuit, world-wide radio airplay, two albums available on iTunes.

While touring Northern California and recording their first full length released Oct. 24th 2003, the band established a very loyal fanbase. The largest club in Chico, CA, LaSalles, now features a guitar autographed by each member proudly hung on the wall above the bar, and a string of sold-out Friday night shows there have promised their permanent place in the town's diverse musical history.

Describing their sound only as "down and dirty rock and roll" Buffalo Creek can be associated with the California Soul sound, mixing classic rock and country twang and an alternative edge. Their sound has allowed them to play with artists as diverse as The Dead, Sawyer Brown, Tim Bluhm and the Mother Hips to name a few. It's obvious to anyone who has seen a live show that Rock and Roll is the foundation on which Buffalo Creek is built. The concise songwriting of Bryn Loosley provides the band with a seemingly endless supply of new, original material which has provided the band with a back catalogue of over 200 original songs.

February 25th, 2005 brought the newest release from Buffalo Creek "Paint By Numbers", an 8 song album featuring some of the finest songwriting from Bryn Loosley and Marc Stafford to date. Recorded, mixed, and produced entirely by Buffalo Creek, the record took a year to produce and was made in various locations all up and down the west coast, as well as over 50 online outlets including iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, MSN Music, etc.
