Buffalo Tom?!? Are you kidding me, no way did I ever expect to find them on this web site. Ok I am impressed. Anyway, probably my favorite band of all time. Saw them last year on a road trip I had to Chicago. Thanks for this post. My faith in real music has been restored.

Hey Dewey-Surf:
Big Buffalo Tom fan here!
Here is some more Buffalo Tom stuff I acquired over the years:
set list from the SoundEfx club show:

I have few promo albumflats from this album:

The front was usually a 12" x 12" glossy reproduction of the album cover with the back being a matte paper with other graphics on it for store display purposes:

the label would usually send about 20 flats and 5-10 posters for most releases

I was mistaken previously, the import label they were on was after SST. Here's the Situation 2 12" for BirdBrain, autographed:

Another 12" on Beggars banquet in the back, with the five albums I have by them in front:

I have promo posters for most of these albums to post later on

Import CD singles pt 1

Import Cd singles pt 2, and a RCA promo instore comp they were on:

And finally, a 7" on atlantic/Beggar's Banquet, printed at Independent Project Press:

IP press was located in the Nate Starkman & son building. It's an old brick building somewhere in LA. It's been in the background of dozens of movies. Once you recognize it, you notice almost as often as that big donut in LA based movies. At one time, there was a record label in that building called Nate Starkman & Sons. They had all their stuff printed at IP. I was in a band that had two albums on that label. long before that, I was aware of IP because Camper Van Beethoven started out on Independent Projects Records, which was located at the Nate Starkman and Sons building. They also printed a lot of show flyers, and a bunch of stamps and crazy stuff for bands like Savage Republic. One of the dudes in Savage Republic ended up producing the two albums on Nate starkman and managed us as a band for a time. I have a big pile of crap from IP because I dug a bunch of stuff out of their trashcans when I went up there. I was also on their mailing list forever and they used to send me a bunch of crap. It was all on this cool rough industrial cardboard with a neat-O printing job like this single:

In the middle it says graphic design by Bruce Licher:

He was THE IP guy.

So that's my story about Nate Starkman and Sons, IPR, Bruce Licher, and some Buffalo Tom stuff...

Buzzy Out!
