BUFFALO DRIVE / FAIR DINKUM


Formed in Adelaide in 1971. Released a number of singles on the Nationwide and Polydor labels with ''Life’s Been Good to Me'’ climbing to #8 on the 5AD charts. After winning the 1973 ‘Live Act’ 5KA Rock Award at the Festival Theatre they toured South Australia, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, schools, churches, festivals, pubs and clubs. They were together first as a six piece then a four piece for four frantic years before they went their separate ways. Their final single ''Follow The Line / Comedienne'' was recorded under the name Fair Dinkum! Two members Valdis Adamson and Haydn Hill have since died.
