The Buffali are a guy and a girl playing acoustic bass and guitar and singing sweet harmonies. They play pop music in a quirky/indie/folk/rock style. They can be real funny or real serious and they\'ll make you feel all funny inside either way.

Clare Fehsenfeld plays acoustic guitar, Andrew Yonda plays acoustic bass guitar and both sing. Clare and Andrew met at Nottingham Housing Co-op while they were attending UW-Madison. They soon discovered their similar taste in music and highly developed senses of humor, so they formed the Buffali in the fall of 2003. This spring they won the UW-Madison Battle of the Bands and their debut EP was released in July.

Singer/songwriter Aaron Scholz writes tunes that are a cross of pop hooks and country twang.
