Avi Buffalo (born Avigdor Benyamin Zahner-Isenberg) is an American musician, songwriter, and producer.

Career

Avi Buffalo's self-titled debut album was released on April 27, 2010, and was given positive reviews by The A.V. Club, NME, Filter, Drowned in Sound and numerous other music review sites.[1] The album's first single was "What's In It For" with "Jessica" on the B-side. His band performed at SXSW the same year, and opened for Modest Mouse in July. In 2010, the band toured Europe and North America. In June 2011 a second single was released on Sub Pop, "How Come? and Good I'm Wishing", and he had already began writing for a second album.

Avi began recording a follow-up to his self-titled album in 2012, and in 2013 began producing other artists and side projects in addition to his own material. Avi Buffalo's second album At Best Cuckold was released on 8 September 2014 in Europe, and on 9 September in the US.[2] Avi and a live band toured the US and Europe in support of this album in Autumn of 2014 for a brief amount of time before Avi decided to return to performing, writing and producing new music.[3]

In 2015, he said he was putting an end to the band Avi Buffalo.[4] In 2019, he released the electronic album Glow Cast on Eternal Sound with Ari Prado.[5]

On July 27, 2020, Avi Buffalo was accused of raping a former bandmate.[6][7][8] In response to the accusations, Sub Pop stopped selling his albums from stores and digital services.[9]
