touring in 6 hours.
hello, it is avi, and i still haven’t slept. i’m backtracked on sleep, because i’ve been so stoked on tour. this is bad, because sleep is very important for tour. there’s still hope for sleeping on tour. we’re leaving for tour at 10 oclock or 11 oclock, starting our drive to boston, taking the 10 freeway, which should be less snow than the 40 route, which we anticipated woud be snowless but is in fact not. we picked up the glorious van today, it’s awesome, beige, and runs real good. loaded it all up with our gear and we’re ready to embark on a 2 month journey across the united states and through ourselves and our musicianship. it’s gonna be so nuts. i’ve got blisters on my fingers! i’ve got this macbook on which i will hopefully update consistently, and i’m bringing a tascam 4 track with me, which is ridiculous but i think will be fun and i’d regret it if i didn’t at this point. listening to augustus pablo’s king tubby meets rockers uptown thanks to my new friend andy from seattle. it’s great! some real groovin’ stuff. melt-banana is driving me nuts these days, and i want to suck it’s juices into me. i’m very confused about life! touring is scary! we’re gonna be couchsurfing with our guitars for 2 months! sounds like fun, also whacky.

ALBUM IS OUT APRIL 27TH! GOING ON TOUR FOR A REALLY LONG TIME! BUT FIRST SOME LA SHOWS
Hello! It’s Avi from Avi Buffalo.
So our album is coming out April 27th, 2010 on Sub Pop Records. It’s called “Avi Buffalo” because we figured it would be a good name for our debut record. Kind of like a “meet Avi Buffalo” thing. The next ones will have more creative titles. Album art is by our good friend Devin O’Brien and also artwork by Rebecca Coleman (she’s in the band!)
We’re also going on tour for our first actual long time - Rogue Wave in early March, then Japandroids in April after SXSW.
We’re gonna have a release show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles for the record on May 1st, 2010. It should be loads of fun, and you’ll be able to buy our vinyl, cd, etc. We’re not totally confirmed on who’s playing with us at that show but it will be announced as soon as possible.
Before then, and before we hit the road, we’re playing two shows in the Los Angeles area. February 17th in Pomona at the Glass House with Best Coast and Cold Cave, and February 18th at Spaceland with Lou Barlow w/ The Missingmen and Imaad Wasif. These should be very good thanks to the awesome bands we’re playing with on both those nights. We’re pretty nervous about the Lou Barlow thing, but it’s all gonna be fantastic.
I’ll keep posting bullshit on our Facebook page in efforts to raise our “post quality” meter. We went up two points yesterday, and today we’re down three. It’s like a rollercoaster.
Love and see you all soon in Middle-America,
Avi

Hey you guys!
Hi, it’s the Avinator right here with the blogger and I just hooked up a big box of music to the computer, so i’ve got lots of tracks to sift through. It’s nice to be home(though we weren’t gone for very long) and i’m snappin back into the guts with some music writing and recording. i’ve gotta dig out the nuggets and make bricks that we can be very stoked on. Our camel is thirsty! Thanks Jed Davis for helping us out on the east coast, it was wonderful to find out who you are, and that you are an awesome new friend. Also big thanks to Jesse Rifkin and Matt Kaplan for letting us crash double times. We are forever grateful!
Check out these guys:
Swingers, open til 3 AM!!!
