Buffalo: Hard rock/pub rock band formed in 1971 in Sydney. They were made up of former members of the blues rock band Head, but they changed their name because the original name had sexual/drug connotations. Even with the name change, they didn’t get much radio play. Their first album, Dead Forever… still sold thousands of copies. Their sophomore album Volcano Rock is a great listen and is very heavy, especially considering it was released in 1973. You could call this album proto-metal. At one point, they opened for Black Sabbath when they came to Australia.

"The Carnival Is Over" is a song written by Tom Springfield, for the Australian folk pop group the Seekers. It is based on a Russian folk song from about 1883, adapted with original English-language lyrics. The song became the Seekers' signature recording, and the band customarily closed their concerts with it ever since its success in late 1965.

The single spent three weeks at No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in November and December 1965.[2] At its 1965 sales peak, the single was selling 93,000 copies per day in the UK with total sales of at least 1.41 million in the UK alone. It stopped The Who from getting to No. 1 with "My Generation"
