Buffalo (band) Buffalo was an Australian rock band formed in August 1971 by founding mainstay Dave Tice on lead vocals (ex-Head). Fellow founders, also from Head, were Paul Balbi on drums, John Baxter on guitar, and Peter Wells on bass guitar; together with Alan Milano on lead vocals (ex-Mandala). Milano left after their debut album, "Dead Forever..." (June 1972), and Balbi was replaced on drums by Jimmy Economou. Their next two albums, "Volcanic Rock" (July 1973) and "Only Want You For Your Body" (June 1974), were also issued by Vertigo Records. After 1975 line-up changes resulted in a more commercial sound and the group disbanded in March 1977. Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane noted that there was "nothing subtle about Buffalo's primal, heavyweight sound, but it was delivered with a great deal of conviction ... combining the dense, occult riffing ... with the progressive blues chops ... the band certainly captured the arrogant disposition of the times in a bold and thunderous fashion". Alongside Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs and Blackfeather, Buffalo pioneered Australia's heavy metal, pub rock and alternative rock movements. Peter Wells died on 27 March 2006, aged 58.

Big Self Big Self are a Northern Irish rock band who formed in 1980. Their lineup consisted of Bernard Tohill on guitars and vocals, Jim Nicholl on guitars, Pat Mo on bass and vocals and Michael Morris on drums. During the early to mid-late 80's the band were highly praised especially in the UK. However, the band's commercial success never matched their critical success, and they disbanded in 1986. During their career they played at several noted events including Self Aid and recorded BBC sessions for John Peel and Kid Jensen. Their single Ghostshirts was featured as the theme song to Dave Fanning's RTÉ TV show Visual Eyes that aimed to present an entertaining and informative behind the scenes look at the world of popular culture. In 1983, they moved to London hoping to improve their prospects of success, returning to Ireland in the winter of '83/'84 to record their debut album, Stateless, with Richard Mainwaring producing. The first single from the album, Ghostshirts, was critically acclaimed by all the leading music press, including NME, Melody Maker and Sounds; but the 18-month delay in releasing their album didn't help. The line-up expanded to a six-piece with the addition of Owen Howell (previously drummer with Belfast band Stage B) on percussion, but then drummer Michael Morris returned to live in Belfast, and soon after saxophonist Gordy Blair left to join Australian band Dave Graney and the Rattlesnakes. Big Self's final gig was as a four-piece at the Irish concert Self Aid, where they shared the stage with U2 and Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, and the Pogues.
