Buffalo Tom – Dingwalls, London

Something of a time-warp back to the mid-Nineties to see Buffalo Tom live for the first time in at least ten years.
Not a lot seems to have changed. Sure the band are looking a little older, but they are still sitting on a criminally underrated back catalogue of fantastic guitar rock. Show was also helped by the fact that new album ‘Skins’ is also pretty great.
The show offered up a great mix of new material (“Down” and “Guilty Girls” worked best for me) and classic older stuff – with a heavy dose from probably their finest album ‘Let Me Come Over’: “Taillights Fade”, “Velvet Roof”, “Larry” and “Darl”.
Encore included a surprisingly stripped-back cover of New Orders “Age Of Consent” and “The Bus” from their 1988 self-titled debut, before closing with “Sunday Night” from ‘Sleepy-Eyed’.
