Budos Band

this stuff is so much fun!!

all of their songs are about flicking a lit cigarette out the window of a moving car while driving or riding about, taking care of business. important business that must be done on clear sunny days.

i love these dudes!

sophomore effort is only slightly less awesome than the first album. When I heard UFTS on the NFL Network I thought it must have been some old library track or something. NFL Films should hire these guys as the house band, actually.

i like em

Me, too, but in small doses only.

BAM

these dudes OWN IT

i listen to this on a regular basis. i have a weakness for the nasty organ and horns-based funk.

Come celebrate the official launch of Wax Poetics Digital with a live performance from the Budos Band this Thursday June 19th at 9pm. Open Bar all night courtesy of Heineken, Christiana Vodka and Red Bull.

^^^^^ where is this

I like these guys too

NYC

FUCKING LOVE THIS SHIT

at first I was convinced I was just being the usual infatuated dilletante because I haven't had the chance to listen to a lot of 60s/70s fusion jazz and funk stuff and these guys were just driving through treadmarks, but now I realize this is indeed honed machinery, not another attempt at reformulating damascus steel

i spin this every time i dj

budos top v in no particular order, as of right now

budos theme
origin of man
monkey see, monkey do
his girl
up from the south (thank you nfl network)

actually nevermind monkey see x that replace with eastbound

I might be a bit drunk but I have an idea that this shit might very well make a good soundtrack to a movie about the trojan war

I am also really digging the Poets of Rhythm despite the mediocre name.

Discern/Define is a classic album imo.

(i can even tolerate the tracks with singing)

I Like 'em

the second album is just such a nice, warm-sounding recording

The 2nd album has a nice sound, until you try to really hear what's going on, then it becomes unpleasantly murky.

It sounds to me like the horns were all recorded in one go, in a big room, and while it's nice that they sound all together, they sound divorced from the rest of the band, and there is no real definition between the instruments. It's kind of like listening through gauze, or you have a wax build-up in your ears.

The first album sounds like they were striving for something, but didn't really know where they were going, or how to get there, and lots of times I like that. It's like all those early white English blooz bands, that didn't quite get it right, and created something new, instead.

i think you're right about about the horns, except i don't have a hard time picking out the different horn or rhythm section parts, it sounds pretty clear to me.

this band is pretty awesome

and funky!

i haven't heard them! though I think I'd like. what should I get?

Get the first one. Then get the second one.

i got the second one, don't have the first one, but they seem like a band that kinda does what they does

went back to this and was pretty bored :(

this is great music for working.

III is good. Unbroken, Unshaven kicks ass.

new album - burnt offering - fantastic

Yeah, I'm digging this. Doomy and funky. I guess the doom is new for them? I'm not sure if I've heard Budos Band before.

I love the new one, and like the other stray bits I've heard. What's the best of the first three?

V is another solid amalgamation of proto-doom & Afro-funk; this music begs to be driven to--and I don't have a car :(

more guitar this time, not that I mind

It's all about groovy riffs and riffy grooves

I like this one but kinda wish they'd drop the doom schtick

New one is great, feels like they've found a really nice balance by using the doom a little more sparingly.
