King Buffalo on Tour
Over the past decade, heavy psychedelic trio King Buffalo have made a name for themselves as gifted purveyors of multi-faceted and complex psychedelic blues rock. Vocalist/guitarist Sean McVay, bassist Dan Reynolds and drummer Scott Donaldson are a prolific bunch, releasing four EPs and five full-length albums in less than a decade. As a result, they've amassed a loyal following of dedicated fans who clamor to see them perform live across the globe.
King Buffalo's fifth full-length album, 2022's Regenerator, is the third and final installment in the band's "pandemic trilogy." Mixed and engineered by McVay, it explores new dimensions and complex layers of the genre. Ambitious in scope and sound, the opening title track is more than nine minutes in length and showcases their unique sonic soundscapes and powerful songwriting.
The trio's propensity for delivering driving, heavy grooves will be on display during their fall 2022 North American tour in support of Regenerator. Their well-oiled live performances in which they adeptly recreate the complex layered textures of their studio albums delight concertgoers, and their shows do not disappoint.

King Buffalo Live in Concert
Formed in Rochester, New York, in 2013, the prolific psych rockers have never shied away from complex melodies and arrangements. Drawing on influences from Black Sabbath and Deep Purple to The Doors, the band's debut album, Orion, made it onto many rock critics' best of the year lists in 2016 and showcased their unique brand of heavy blues.
King Buffalo's sound has deepened and evolved since their debut, leading to a trio of albums inspired by the pandemic the band dreamt up during a lockdown-induced touring hiatus. They returned to performing live shows in 2021, touring across North America with Clutch. In spring 2022, the band doubled-down on their touring schedule, opening on dozens of dates for Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats from Brooklyn to Los Angeles and back to the East Coast again. Headlining dates in the UK and Europe and several festival appearances in summer 2022 precede their North American headlining tour in the fall, which will see them tearing up venues from coast to coast.
