Buffalo Tom is an alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in the 1980s. Its principal members are guitarist Bill Janovitz, bassist Chris Colbourn, and drummer Tom Maginnis. The band's name is derived from the band Buffalo Springfield and the first name of the drummer, who is the shyest of the three. Combining the two is something of a joke among the members. Dinosaur Jr. guitarist/frontman J Mascis assisted with the production on the band's first two albums.

- Buffalo Tom is an alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in the 1980s. Its principal members are guitarist Bill Janovitz, bassist Chris Colbourn, and drummer Tom Maginnis. The band's name is derived from the band Buffalo Springfield and the first name of the drummer, who is the shyest of the three. Combining the two is something of a joke among the members. Dinosaur Jr. guitarist/frontman J Mascis assisted with the production on the band's first two albums. J Mascis also played lead guitar on the song "Impossible" from Buffalo Tom's self-titled debut. Based on Mascis' input, early on the band was sometimes called Dinosaur Jr. , Jr. Buffalo Tom's albums received increasing popular and critical acclaim in the early-mid 1990s. See critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine's biography of Buffalo Tom on Allmusic for a typical example of the excellent reception "Let Me Come Over" (1992) received. Buffalo Tom became one of the more popular alternative rock bands by the mid-1990s: "Big Red Letter Day" (1993) peaked at #8 and "Sleepy Eyed" (1995) peaked at #4 on the Heatseekers chart. The band contributed the track "For All To See" to the 1993 benefit album No Alternative, and the track "Lolly Lolly Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here" to the CD School House Rock! Rocks. Buffalo Tom's song "Sodajerk" was featured on the soundtrack to the 1994 television series My So-Called Life. They appeared in a club scene on My So-Called Life, episode 12, titled "Self-Esteem", playing "Late at Night". The episode originally aired on 17 November, 1994. They were recently mentioned on the CW show Gossip Girl. Buffalo Tom also wrote the theme song to the extremely short-lived 1999 sitcom The Mike O'Malley Show. In 1999 the song "Taillights Fade" was used in the Breckin Meyer/Elizabeth Berkley independent film Taillights Fade. They also recorded The Jam's "Going Underground" for the 2000 tribute album Fire and Skill: The Songs of the Jam. They were the final musical guest on Jon Stewart's The Jon Stewart Show wherein he showered the band with moderate enthusiasm for their sound and their musical integrity. Buffalo Tom is a perennial performer at the Hot Stove Cool Music concerts that benefit Theo Epstein's Charity, Foundation To Be Named Later. During 2007, Buffalo Tom performed at the South by Southwest Music Festival and went on a mini Summer tour with shows in Boston, New York City, San Francisco, and a few other cities. A new album, Three Easy Pieces, was released on July 10, 2007 through the New West label. The band has played shows in D.C. Chicago, and Minneapolis. A tour of Australia was booked as well as dates in Europe and in their home state of Massachusetts.
- Buffalo Tom ist eine US-amerikanische Alternative Rock-Band. Sie wurde 1986 von Bill Janovitz, Tom Maginnis und Chris Colburne in Boston gegründet. Mit ihrem garagigen und harschen Gitarrensound sind sie neben Dinosaur Jr. wichtige Vertreter des US College Rock und haben sich einen eigenen soliden und bodenständigen Sound geschaffen. Das Debutalbum wurde von J. Mascis unter dem Arbeitstitel „Buffalo Tom“ produziert, wovon sich auch der Bandname ableitet und weswegen die Band lange Zeit als kleiner Bruder von Dinosaur Jr. galt. Bis 1992 konnten Buffalo Tom bereits diverse Tourerfolge verzeichnen, unter anderem auch in Europa. Mit dem Wechsel von Beggars Banquet Records zu RCA und dem Album „Let Me Come Over“ stieg das Ansehen der Band nun auch in Fachkreisen. Obwohl insbesondere „Taillights Fade“ als kraftvolle Ballade immer wieder bei verschiedenen Alternative Radiosendern gespielt wurde, blieb der finanzielle Erfolg aus. Ihre mit Abstand erfolgreichste Platte lieferte Buffalo Tom mit „Sleepy-Eyed“ aus, welches in Dreamland, einer umgebauten Kirche in Woodstock, aufgenommen wurde. Seit Ende der 90er ruht die Arbeit der Band, obwohl sie sich offiziell nie aufgelöst hat und gelegentlich überrascht das Trio mit dem einen oder anderen Livekonzert. Im Juli 2007 veröffentlichen sie nach fast zehn Jahren ihr neues Album "Three Easy Pieces". Das von der Presse und den Fans hoch gelobte Album ist ein "typisches" Buffalo Tom Album. Vieles von dem, was diese Band auszeichnet, wurde in diesem Album noch einmal zusammengefasst. Besonders bekannt wurden sie auch durch die 12. Episode der Serie Willkommen im Leben, in der sie ein Konzert geben und ihr Song Late at Night in der Schlussszene als Soundtrack dient.
