Hotly tipped Long Beach youngsters Avi Buffalo are currently touring the Pacific Northwest with Baltimore's Beach House. This news came as a late announcement on Friday, but only adds fuel to the rumor-fire currently smoldering (at least) about the future of the Buffalo crew. Scattered interviews and news items have made reference to the band's being pursued by some major (indie) players and, well, Beach House just signed with Sub Pop.
