***** Margaret Legedza March 2021
'The Evolution of 'Buffalo Drive' was more than a concert; it was a JOURNEY through the history of a local 60s/70s band ... 'The Henchmen' ... acoustic folk music with GORGEOUS HARMONIES ... 'Genesis', with a more pop and electric sound ... 'Buffalo Drive' ... it was their ORIGINAL SONGS that SHONE THROUGH ... Jumpin' Judy ... Money Stride ... Life's Been Good To Me ... It was a WONDERFUL EVENING of music intertwined with stories and anecdotes ... 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 ... Life's been good to me... and to Buffalo Drive!"
The Evolution of Buffalo Drive CONTINUES... Playing all the old hits plus brand new material!
Presented by: Buffalo Drive
1970's Adelaide band, 'Buffalo Drive', evolved from a local folk quartet, 'The Henchmen', around 1964: 4 mates featuring strong vocal harmonies and acoustic instruments - guitars, banjo, mandolin and double bass.
In 1969 'The Henchmen' morphed into 'Genesis' and began playing original songs along with popular covers.
In 1970 they went electric, brought in a lead guitarist, drummer and Hammond organist, and became 'Buffalo Drive', a 6-piece national touring and recording rock band, whose music evolved from the rollicking folk of the 50s and early 60s via covers of 60s/70s pop hits to strong original songs with a feel-good, sing-along vibe including chart hit, 'Life's Been Good To Me".
50 years on 5 original members have regrouped to relive and present the songs, the joy and the fun times!
Reviews & Fringefeed Reacts
The Evolution of Buffalo Drive was more than a concert: it was a journey through the history and progression of local 60s/70s band... - Margaret Legedza, Hush & Pandemonium on ThreeD Radio 93.7FM
No matter how small Buffalo Drive’s imprint on the local music scene may seem to have been now, it was unarguably significant. - Ken Grady, Upside Adelaide
I loved every moment of the show and highly recommend it FIFTY FIFTY FABULOUS YEARS OF BUFFALO DRIVE… CONTINUED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Margaret Legedza, Hush & Pandemonium on ThreeD Radio 93.7FM
The band will play one more show.. there would be few better options for local music fans to attend.. that show deserves to be a sell-out. - Ken Grady, Upside Adelaide
