Taking their name from a line in one of their favorite childhood movies, “Radio Flyer,” Goodnight Buffalo was formed by brothers Rusty and Brian Kahl in 2009. Possessing a sound uniquely their own, yet with elements reminiscent of such bands as R.E.M. and U2, the band has released two EPs, two full-length albums, “Back and Fill,” with music from the album being featured on such hit MTV shows as “Jersey Shore,” “Friendzone,” and “Snookie & JWoww.,” and their seminal album “Internal Politics." Originally a drummer/percussionist, Rusty had found previous success as a founding member of the cult bands Group X: Arabian Rap Sensations and Manhattan. After his first year at Berklee College of Music in Boston however, he grew restless with the drums and began teaching himself guitar and piano. It was during this time, that he began writing much of the original material that would later become Goodnight Buffalo’s first album. Upon his return to Atlanta, Rusty shared the songs he had written with his brother and former band mate Brian. Immediately inspired by the songs and the vision Rusty had for a band, Brian began writing lyrics and melodies to the songs. With the enlistment of Tom Bruno on drums, well known in the Atlanta music scene for his complex and powerful playing style, and Dan Edwards, a blues and punk fusion inspired lead guitarist, the elusive bassist would be found in the brothers’ cousin, Clint Kahl.
