COMMENT: www.vision.net.au/~eagle/History.htm

The origins of BUFFALO began in Brisbane, Queensland in 1966 when mates, Dave Tice (vocals) & Pete Wells (bass) played in a band called THE ODD COLOURS. When this band dissolved, Dave & Pete had a brief stint in STRANGE BREW (66/67) and then formed THE CAPITOL SHOW BAND later in ’67 which became highly successful in the local market.

In 1969, Dave & Pete formed the (pre-BUFFALO) band HEAD. After outgrowing their home city, the band, consisting of Dave Tice (vocals), Pete Wells (bass), Neil Jensen (guitar) and Steve Jones (drums), moved to Sydney early in 1970 where HEAD soon began to make a name for themselves. HEAD secured a residency at Sydney’s Groovey Room, but life in the city wasn’t easy which led to Neil Jensen and Steve Jones leaving the band only after a few months. They were replaced by John Baxter, (guitar, ex-MANDALA) and Peter Leighton (drums, ex-AFTERMATH).

HEAD joined Dal Myles booking agency (DME), and their reputation as a no-nonsense heavy rock band continued to grow which led to their first recording break, a deal with Phonogram Records. The single ‘Hobo’ was released shortly after but received little airplay. This single is now a very hard to find collector's item, but is a must for all die-hard fans to have.

Shortly after the single was released, Peter Leighton left, much to the disappointment of the band. Paul Balbi replaced Peter on drums and Allan Milano (ex- MANDALA) was also recruited for the added dimension of an additional vocalist.

The band could see that they had something unique to offer, so with the encouragement of their management they decided to up the anti. The name HEAD got the chop (excuse the pun) and was changed to BUFFALO with the music becoming heavier.

Why the name change to BUFFALO? There were a couple of reasons, mainly the name ‘HEAD’, suggested certain sexual connotations and according to their management was too controversial to market. Another issue was at the time, there was a South Australian band called HEADBAND and this caused some confusion. The band also wanted a name which was better suited to their style of music.
