Sally grew up in Sydney where she was the vocalist and one of the founding members of power pop group Lustre 4, as well as playing guitar in Spdfgh in the 1990s. She then moved to Melbourne, Australia and re-invented her musical style to create New Buffalo. She adopted a sound that replaced guitars with keyboards over smooth paced bass and soothing beats.
New Buffalo's debut release was in February 2000 via Ben Lee's web site by way of a MP3 download of the track "16 Beats". The following year she signed with Modular and released the debut EP, About Last Night, featuring the aforementioned track. It was also released in the United Kingdom through Heavenly Recordings, which saw New Buffalo invited to tour throughout the UK supporting Ed Harcourt.
In 2002, Sally recorded some songs in Los Angeles with Jake Davies, but after Heavenly withdrew their financial support, she decided to set up her own home studio in Melbourne. This where she wrote, arranged and produced her debut album, The Last Beautiful Day, which was released in Australia in September 2004 on Dot Dash and August 23, 2005 on Arts & Crafts in North America. The album features special guest appearances by Beth Orton on backing vocals and Jim White of Dirty Three on drums.
In July 2005 a self-titled EP was released featuring two new songs - a collaboration with composer Rae Howell, and a duet with Sweden's Jens Lekman - plus re-mixes and re-worked versions of songs from the debut album.
On 24 March, 2007, Sally released her second LP, Somewhere Anywhere in Australia, and to North American audiences on August 28, 2007.
Sally also co-wrote the song 1234 (originally called Sally's Song) with Feist which was released on Feist's album The Reminder. The song was featured in a 2007 iPod Nano commercial and transformed Feist's career. By proxy, Sally's New Buffalo project became better known as she was mentioned in a number of publications, including Entertainment Weekly, which named her as an artist to watch in September 2007.
Trigger
New Buffalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm sad
You were all
I ever had
Your eyes in my head
It was love
I never said
In your briefcase
Forgetting the blues
Trigger you're gone
Trigger you're gone
You've got your own way
Of moving on
I see a light
Feel it all
Hold my hand
I'm gonna fall
Travelling on
Through the night now
You've got the stars
Trigger you're gone
Trigger you're gone
You've got your own way
Of moving on
Silver white shoes
In your briefcase
Forgetting the blues
Trigger you're gone
Trigger you're gone
You've got your own way
Of moving on
The lyrics to New Buffalo's song "Trigger" are about heartbreak and moving on. "Trigger" is a name given to a former lover who has left the singer and moved on. The singer is left feeling sad and lonely without Trigger, as they had been everything to them. The line "your eyes in my head, it was love I never said" suggests that despite their love for Trigger, they never expressed their feelings to them.
The lyrics also hint at a sense of independence and resilience in the singer. They acknowledge that Trigger has their own way of moving on, and that they too must keep travelling on through the night without them. The line "you've got the stars" suggests that Trigger has found their own path to happiness, but the singer is still searching for theirs.
The song's refrain, "silver white shoes in your briefcase, forgetting the blues," may refer to Trigger's attempts to move on by leaving their past behind and starting anew. The image of silver white shoes, which suggests something new and shiny, helps to reinforce this idea. However, the singer is still left feeling heartbroken and unable to forget their past love.
Overall, "Trigger" is a melancholic and introspective song that explores the themes of love, loss, and acceptance.

Can't ask for a much better 1st spin ever than that! Huge congrats! I thought you were finally going to get your 15. Can't wait for this one to get to AC in about 3 years 😂
Shinobi Slots
Yep, only getting 15 gold heads would've been better. Guess you'll just have to drop by Vegas soon to play it. It's probably already there, or in the process of being installed I imagine. Good Luck when you play it! 🍀🎰🍀

Congratulations on a big win, I haven't seen so many bonuses on one new machine! This video got me on the edge of my seat waiting for the 15th gold buffalo head to land, thinking this is "it"! This better than a handpay (tax-free). Thank you for sharing a new game👍👍🎉🎉
Shinobi Slots
I REALLY thought it was going to happen. Seemed everything was falling in place for it. It just slowed down towards the end. But no complaints about that or the session of course. And this ended up being the start to a great casino day for me and my friend. Thanks for watching!
