THE EVOLUTION OF BUFFALO DRIVE…CONTINUES… Sunday 20th February @ Osmond Terrace Function Centre at Norwood Hotel I had the pleasure of seeing The Evolution of Buffalo Drive at least year’s Fringe, and I was excited to see them return with a new show. Once again, the lads and Georgina, led us on a journey through the history and progression of local 60s/70s band, Buffalo Drive. The first set featured songs and stories of the original acoustic folk quartet, The Henchmen. The songs were enriched with beautiful harmonies, and featured the banjo, mandolin, guitars and double bass. With the addition of Rod’s sister, the band evolved into Genesis, which played original songs and popular covers. The second and third sets of the evening focused on the music of Buffalo Drive, with their electrified sound which featured a Hammond organ. Songs such as “Money Stride”, “Photograph Autograph”, “Woolloomooloo Lulu”, my favourite “Jumpin’ Judy”, and of course their hit “Life’s Been Good To Me”, were complemented by some covers including “Love Her Madly”, “Eve Of Destruction”, and Mary Hopkin’s “Goodbye”. Since last year’s Fringe appearances, the band has been busy not only releasing an album “Buffalo Drive Alive!” (recorded at last year’s Fringe), but also writing new music, and some of these new tunes were performed during the show. It was a wonderful evening of music intertwined with stories and anecdotes, and the projection of band photos, old festival line-ups and other scenes of the era, enhanced the experience as well. You could really feel the lifelong mateship between the band members and this spilled out into the audience, who really enjoyed the show and even participated in a cheeky sing-along. I loved every moment of the show and highly recommend it to all who want to learn about a slice of Adelaide’s music history. The band is currently working on a brand new album, so Buffalo Drive will definitely be back!! FIFTY FABULOUS YEARS OF BUFFALO DRIVE… CONTINUED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Running on Sundays 6th and 20th March For more detailed reviews tune into Hush & Pandemonium on Three D Radio 93.7FM on Monday 28th February 9-11pm
