Jesse Haynes and Ethan Dorsett were eating a buffalo chicken pita when they came up with a name for their new band. It started with "buffalo," which eventually led them to "Bison."
Finally, it was settled- Haynes and Dorsett's group would be called White Bison.
"I guess you could say if I didn't order a bufalo chicken pita, we wouldn't have a band name," said Haynes.
Although the band is still young, the group's members have signed 12-month contracts with SER Media and Associates, a media consulting and management company. Dorsett said they want to avoid being scammed out of money.
"We're all trying to figure it out, which can be frustrating," said Dorsett, the lead guitarist. "But at the same time we're trying to come at this as a team and be finanially smart about this, because we know the horror stories."
White Bison became a client of SER Media after Wharton, the group's bassist, convinced his friend Dillon Roulet, SER Media's Director of Artist Relation, to come hear the band practice in a studio at Denton's CityParc.
"They have something for everybody," Roulet said. "They're indie, but they're not weird. They have soul, but they're not R&B. They're rock but they're not the Ramones." - North Texas Daily
