We are excited to announce that New Buffalo will be performing live as part of the upcoming theatre production Appetite.
Directed by Kate Denborough, and combining original live music from New Buffalo with text from award-winning playwright Ross Mueller [No Man's Land, The Store Room], and featuring a fusion of dance, theatre and visual design, Appetite promises to be a sensory feast.
Appetite is the story of a successful woman on the eve of her 39th birthday.
Ambushed by her own sense of disquiet, she invites her closest family and friends to dinner but - as the night progresses, and realising that her hunger for life, for lust, for sensation has disappeared - she is inspired to change.
New Buffalo fans in Melbourne, Australia are in for a real treat, as Appetite will be staged as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival in October.
Check out the TOURS page for performance dates and ticketing info.

2007 was a huge year for New Buffalo AKA Sally Seltmann.
On the home front New Buffalo released her second album 'Somewhere, Anywhere' to much acclaim, resulting in sold out headline shows across the country. The later part of the year saw New Buffalo on national tours with local greats such as Paul Kelly, Tim Rogers and Missy Higgins.
Internationally, New Buffalo released her album in the US and Canada through the Arts & Crafts label, following up the release with tour dates throughout North America with label mates Stars and Broken Social Scene.
As a songwriter, Sally's career has taken an upward turn with the success of '1234', the song she wrote for Feist. In addition to this 1234 has secured a swag of award nominations [in both the Grammy's and the Brit Awards] for Feist. The song has also featured in advertising campaigns for the iPod Nano and Ebay Australia. New Buffalo's own 'Cheer Me Up Thank You' is set to feature in an upcoming episode of Grey's Anatomy, along with song placements in a slew of other US television dramas such as One Tree Hill and Side Order of Life.
With such a great year behind her, New Buffalo plans to greet 2008 with a series of intimate piano shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this February/March. See the Tours page for details.
Happy New Year!
