John Buffalo Shares “Accidents” Single & Animated Music Video
New York, NY – John Buffalo shares “Accidents” today – the second single from his self-titled debut album out now via State Fair Records. The quirky new wave-inspired track comes with an animated video created by John and his daughter June Dufilho – watch HERE – who also provides backing vocals on the track. The new single also comes with news of a San Antonio album release show on November 11th at The Annex at Blue Star Arts Complex with Buttercup as direct support.
Just last month we announced John Buffalo’s self-titled debut album with the release of the “I Got This Now” single and music video – watch HERE. The Texas musician, songwriter, engineer, and producer is best known as John Dufilho from his work with Dallas’ The Deathray Davies, CLIFFFS, I Love Math, and John Singer Seargent (to name a few). He has also drummed with Denver’s indie stalwarts The Apples In Stereo and is a collaborator and producer for Ben Kweller and Rhett Miller of the Old 97’s. His first album John Buffalo is a collection of electronic songs that embody his indie music roots while evoking sounds of Devo and Beck.
The album also comes just a year after Dufilho underwent lifesaving open-heart surgery, two times. The San Antonio native discovered he was suffering from a hereditary condition during a routine doctor’s visit that led him to the operating room almost immediately. While the surgery saved his life, Dufilho was left with mounting medical debt, which thanks to a grant from Stephen King’s non-profit, The Haven Foundation – who gave Dufilho their biggest grant amount to date – as well as the Musician’s Health Alliance, he was able to cover.
Despite some complications with the surgery (it had to be repeated a second time due to internal bleeding), John survived and began his long road to recovery – part of which stipulated he could not lift anything heavier than 5 pounds. That meant no guitars, no drums, and certainly no live performances. John started playing on a synth and drum machine and, while he didn’t know where these sessions would lead at the time, he was creating his first all-electronic album which he decided to record under the moniker John Buffalo.
