Music Review: Buffalo Killers


Buffalo Killers Show
with openers Hollis Brown

Venue: Radio Radio, Indianapolis

            I may have a new favorite band to muse over, but it is not the Buffalo Killers. I saw their show at Radio Radio on Thursday night and I was impressed with the opening act Hollis Brown. The band had a strong southern rock feel with hints of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Dylan. They were smooth and edgy and as the opening act played on I wondered what was still in store for me. Since I enjoyed Hollis Brown so much would I enjoy the Buffalo Killers even more? The answer is no. Individual songs performed by the Buffalo Killers were fine, but not at all what I was expecting. The set lacked a cohesiveness and it was hard to get a feeling for what I was listening to. The music got progressively better with the last song played actually sounding like something I would enjoy listening to on a regular basis. I did not hate the show, nor did I think it was a waste of my time. I was expecting more from the Buffalo Killers, especially after being set up so great by Hollis Brown.
