Six months after a growth spurt that saw the band play a residency at the Echo, Long Beach wunderkinds Avi Buffalo return to the venue this week for a show that celebrates the quartet’s first proper release, the 7-inch of “What’s In It For” b/w “Jessica.” It’s their first effort for Sub Pop Records – signing to that label will get you noticed, that’s for sure – and Thursday also marks frontman Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg’s 19th birthday. The band’s maiden single, “What’s In It For,” has been floating around the Internet for a couple of months, but this is a newly remastered version – it sounds fantastic.
