Buffalo Bison

About Me

Our first and only EP, The Leaving Kind is available for free download on this page. If you would like a CD-R or for other inquiries, kindly email [email protected].
UPDATE
Buffalo Bison performed its farewell show on October 15th, 11pm at the National Underground. Buffalo Bison is dead, long live Sterling Peirce.
The time for Buffalo Bison has passed. Buffalo Bison is going to pasture, the warhorse is meeting the scrapheap, the general is writing his memoirs, and other metaphors as well.
However, from the corpse of the Bison emerges a new entity. Composed of the final five members of the good old beast, Sterling Peirce represents a new musical direction and, perhaps more importantly, a new mystical adventure.
As it always has, the spirit of the mighty Buffalo will live on. Sterling Peirce will play many of the Bison's ghost dance songs in tribute to its noble ancestor, who shall rise no more forever but whose ghost horns forge on ahead, opening the horizon for all who ride the peril of these days.
Please address all future inquiries and requests to Sterling Peirce at [email protected] or www.myspace.com/sterlingpeirce.
With warmest regards,
Josh
