The Budos Band

Sign in to disble this ad
My band just played a show opening up for the Budos Band last night. Has anyone seen these dudes or know about them?

The bass player was playing a Gibson short scale bass in an almost upright position. I am guessing that he might have pulled the frets or that it was fretless. I am going to say that he had the most unique tone that I have ever heard in a live situation... kind of overdriven, maybe flat wounds and the treble turned all the way down? It was the best show my band has ever played and then I danced so hard to the Budos Band that I am completely sore today and hoarse from yelling. There was a full on BREAKDANCING competition going on in the crowd!

Budos is awesome! They are on the Daptone record label out of new York and are the backing band for Sharon jones. Check out The Menahan Street band and Lee Fields and the Expressions album 'My World'. Good stuff! Post some Budos Band YouTube links dude!

This is my favorite song off the new album, which I bought on vinyl.
