Zahner-Isenberg began writing and recording songs at home on his computer during his 10th grade year in high school, and debuted a full electric band at the beginning of his junior year. The group played a number of local shows in Long Beach before being asked to play in Los Angeles. A year later Zahner-Isenberg began recording songs with Aaron Embry, and these recordings began to form parts of the band's first record.
In 2011 Zahner-Isenberg recorded two songs at home in Long Beach and released another single on Sub Pop titled "How Come/Good I'm Wishing", the band toured in the summer and then came home to write and record towards a second album.
Avi Buffalo's music was a mash-up of many genres, with heavy guitar influence and lyrical ambiguity.

Five Little Sluts
Avi Buffalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Away my pores and had my last
Conversation with you the way i usually can.
There were whirring little spinners
That tickled the rough of my hands
And a weekend exchange of what i want
You to know just in case you
Wanted me to take your hand
And my love for your mellow soul
And i can't hate you 'cause you're free
And you'll be wealthy when you're old
Kissing in the flaccid points between our
Sin soaked night, and we spin wax with favoring dream mixing our heads
Up with weak, there were moments which i would regret and then later ask why
And when i went outside as if nobody knew
But the sky, to whom i made shady deals
Regarding money and girls
And i can't be done with cheap thrills
And when i thought i felt safe
While i could scrape at my old love
There was a mountain of new taste
Hey motion eye, oh how you've turned
Into a certain type of ugly person
When your ship has sailed then all
Of your shit will fly away

The dream then takes a different turn as he mentions kissing in the "flaccid points between our sin-soaked night." He reveals that there were moments he regrets and later asks why, indicating not all their shared experiences were good ones. Then, he goes outside and makes "shady deals" with the sky for money and girls. The song closes with him feeling safe but unable to escape his past love, as he experiences a "mountain of new taste." The last line of the song suggests the inevitability of letting go of the past when one's time has come.

Hodgep12 I'm sad too, because this is probably the best album of 2010, let's hope AB make enough money to keep recording, because there's surely more great stuff to come.
