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.

Remember Last Time
Avi Buffalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought i served you all too well
And all along i had something in my eye
How long can we go this close,
How soon before my laughs die?
If i had to tell you, something about myself
I don't think that you could have handled it well
You don't put up with so much stuff that you're cool
Were you sick of me too?
Why'd don't we just go and ruin everything by
Taking this westbound, i know i seem too keen
We'll only stop to talk about our feelings
How good did you really feel,
How much was he willing to spare
I've never written a love song, but i will for you
In Avi Buffalo's song "Remember Last Time," the lyrics explore the internal thoughts of someone who is second-guessing their relationship. The song begins with the singer reflecting on the past, remembering how things went wrong before. The singer believed that they had served their partner too well, but were unsure why things didn't work out. The singer seems to have been blind to the reality of the situation, as they "had something in [their] eye" and were unable to perceive what was really happening in their relationship.
As the song continues, the singer expresses doubt about their ability to reveal their true self to their partner. They fear that their partner won't be able to handle the truth about who they really are. The singer acknowledges that their partner cannot tolerate much, but it is unclear what specifically they are referring to. The lyrics suggest that the singer may be struggling with their own identity or some other deep-seated issue.
In the final verses, the singer proposes going on a trip and talking about their feelings. However, the request comes off as desperate and clingy, as they ask how good their partner really felt and how much the partner was willing to spare. The song ends with the singer revealing that they have never written a love song, but will do so for their partner.
Overall, "Remember Last Time" captures the insecurities and doubts that can arise in a relationship. The song's exploration of internal thoughts and feelings makes it relatable to anyone who has ever questioned the strength of their romantic connection.

Remember last time, you know how it went
Recollect the last time, you're familiar with how it panned out.
I thought I served you all too well
I believed I satisfied you exceedingly well.
And all along I had something in my eye
I had an irritation in my eye the whole time.
How long can we go this close,
For how many days, can we remain so intimate,
How soon before my laughs die?
When will my smiles cease to exist?
If I had to tell you something about myself
Suppose I need to discuss something related to myself
I don't think that you could have handled it well
I don't think you'll be able to confront it decently
You don't put up with so much stuff that you're cool
You don't tolerate much stress and likely to be calm
How long did I really last, how soon
How long was my stay for real, and when it got over?
were you sick of me too?
Did you also get fed up with me?
Why'd don't we just go and ruin everything by
Why don't we go ahead and spoil everything by
Taking this westbound, I know I seem too keen
Let's start a journey towards the West, although it may seem overeager
We'll only stop to talk about our feelings
We'll only take halts to discuss our emotions
How good did you really feel,
How satisfying was your experience,
How much was he willing to spare
How much was he willing to compromise
I've never written a love song, but I will for you
I haven't created a love song before, but I will write one for you.

Do you want the Mp3? I have it at 192kbps which is probably what this upload was but 12 years of compression later this version sounds terrible. Mine still sounds 'pretty good' I've only copied it two or 3 times between drives since I had the song.

If they do, it'll probably be removed; trust me, I tried to and it immediately got a copyright strike

So many questions! How has this amazing song been up here for 10 years with no comments?! Why did Avi Buffalo take the song off of Apple Music and Spotify?!

While I certainly don't condone rape, its alarming that this would be done on an unproven accusation.
