Buffalo Sunn have gained a reputation for being a formidable live band, noted for their three part vocal harmonies, with inventive guitar and percussion. Channeling that West Coast sound 'like a punked up Crosby Stills and Nash' (as one Asian journalist noted ) they mix melody and guitar attack with superb effect, with songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Daniel Paxton masterminding the band’s sound superbly.
They have opened for a host of international acts under their previous moniker Sweet Jane,including Suede, A Place To Bury Strangers, The Besnard Lakes, and Glasvegas. Now, with their harmony drenched sound Buffalo Sunn are no strangers to the festival circuit having played CMJ, Music Matters in Singapore, and Hardworking Class Heroes as well as performing at Ireland’s biggest festivals Oxegen and Electric Picnic.
"By The Ocean By The Sea” will be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on 31st January via Rough Trade Distribution/Brainstorm, and on February 6th Buffalo Sunn embark on their first tour of Germany, prior to hitting radio stations and clubs along the US West Coast on the A+R Worldwide 'Passport Approved’ tour, en route to SXSW. They return to the US in April where they are one of only a few bands invited to play the prestigious Musexpo industry event in LA, before heading to Toronto for CMW.
