Buffalos is an alternative rock band formed by Omer Hershman and Sivan Bella Leshed in October 2007.
The band combines different varied influences from cabaret, folk, blues and punk, and refines them into a unique, different and new utterance.
Based in Tel Aviv, Buffalos are active in Israel and make frequent tours to Europe.

Omer Hershman, a well-known figure in the Israeli alternative scene, known as the guitarist and writer/composer in the bands Lady Macbeth and Jet Sam and also as a guitarist in Panic Ensemble, received a few lyrics from Sivan, whom it’s her first project, with the intention of composing them.

The collaboration turned out to be extremely productive and in a short period of time they realized they have enough songs for an album.
They decided to record a few sketches at home using basic equipment.
what started as a project of two people became a full band with its unique and matchless sound.

The sketches found their ways to Mark Kramer, an appreciated producer/musician in the American indie scene (worked with artists such as Robert Wyatt, Low, Daniel Johnston and many more, including the Israeli Monotonix) who decided to take on the mixing part of the album.

Kramer finally mixed the self titled debut album, and it was released in August 2009 under Tel Aviv based label Thor Records.

The other band members are Ran Jacobovitz on Drums, Yotam Schlezinger on guitar and Dan Carpman on Bass.
Simultaneously to the album release in its physical format in stores, the album is available for free download through the band’s website- www.buffalosband.com

Buffalos are already working on their second album and about to tour Europe for the 2nd time for 2010 this coming October.
