Buffalo Tom is my favorite band. I love their hard-edge pop songs that stick in your head for days and weeks after hearing them. They are not pop, alt, or any other buzz word. They are a rock band the way a rock band should be. A little hard, a little soft and a little rough around the edges. Their songs are toe tapping jams that are full of great riffs and hooks that sound great both live and on record.
Last Tuesday was momentous occasion for BT fans everywhere; after nine years, their new album Three Easy Pieces was released.
Today is my birthday and it seems that Buffalo Tom always celebrates with me. Almost ten years ago my girlfriend (now my wife) and I went to Cape Cod for my birthday and we saw BT at a dive called The Beach Comber. It was like a private show. I think the bar held 100 people total. At that show, they previewed new songs from the (now old), album Smitten. It was fantastic.
In true fashion, BT will be playing at the Paradise in Boston Saturday. My wife got a bunch of tickets and we will all be there so they can wish me a happy birthday.
-DISCLAIMER- My friend MM already calls me a BT groupie, so when she finds out that I literally have ticket #1 to Saturday's show she will no doubt give me crap. But, she will be giving me crap at the Buffalo Tom Show!!
