Buffalo (footwear)

Buffalo is a brand of clothing and accessories, perhaps best known for its footwear, owned by the Buffalo Boots GmbH. Its headquarters are in Hochheim am Main, Germany.

Buffalo's notoriety increased significantly with the popularity, especially in Europe, of its platform shoes from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s. The 10-centimetre platform model 1310-2 was made famous by British girl band the Spice Girls. The 1310-2 also came with a 20-centimetre platform.

Buffalo manufactures women's shoes, men's shoes like dress shoes, western and biker boots, skate shoes, high heels, pumps, sandals, overknee boots,flip-flops, and other footwear, as well as shirts, jackets, trousers, skirts, hosiery, swimsuits, undergarments, and small baggage.

Buffalo (band)

Buffalo were an Australian rock band formed in August 1971 by founding mainstay Dave Tice on lead vocals (ex-Head). Fellow founders, also from Head, were Paul Balbi on drums, John Baxter on guitar, and Peter Wells on bass guitar; together with Alan Milano on lead vocals (ex-Mandala). Milano left after their debut album, Dead Forever... (June 1972), and Balbi was replaced on drums by Jimmy Economou. Their next two albums, Volcanic Rock (July 1973) and Only Want You For Your Body (June 1974), were also issued by Vertigo Records. After 1975 line-up changes resulted in a more commercial sound and the group disbanded in March 1977. Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, noted that there was "nothing subtle about Buffalo's primal, heavyweight sound, but it was delivered with a great deal of conviction ... combining the dense, occult riffing ... with the progressive blues chops ... the band certainly captured the arrogant disposition of the times in a bold and thunderous fashion". Alongside Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs and Blackfeather, Buffalo pioneered Australia's heavy metal, pub rock and alternative rock movements. Peter Wells died on 27 March 2006, aged 58.
