Little Big Show is at the Neptune with local favorites Pickwick and Fly Moon Royalty , and the Constant Lovers are at Comet Tavern with guests Blood Orange Paradise, Baltic Cousins, [...]

You're driving along the edge of a cliff . It's sundown and there's an ocean next to you. It's gorgeous. Not to mention, it's the year 1982 and you're driving a beautiful 1954 sexy red Buick Sylark . The top is down and you're feeling the music... Ghost Walk - Budos Band Download audio file (04-Ghost-Walk.mp3) Ya know? That's how I feel when I'm listening to this song. These guys are [...]
The Budos Band "Chicago Falcon"
Happy holidays, dudes and dudettes! Hope you got everything you wished for and downed copious amounts of egg nog. Now, on to more important stuff than family gatherings and gift exchanges....live music! Naturally, there are ton of great shows going on this week in NYC as we lead up to New Year's Eve, including some multi-night holiday runs, some late-night throwdowns, and plenty of NYE parties that don't involve watching a ball drop in 10-degree weather.
It's that time of year again: Reindeers and lights everywhere, and long lists of presents… especially from my children. For my part, I just want 2012 to be as much of a "party year" as 2011 has been - or better even! I have a tough job (I may have ...

One of my favorite funk/soul instrumental bands The Budos Band have scheduled their return to Los Angeles early next year. They are set to take the stage of the Echoplex on Friday, February 24th in support of their latest release "The Budo Band III". This is going to be a great dance party and a must for fans of The Echo 's Funky Sole party. Tickets for this show are set to go on sale [...]
Even though I'm booked for the night already with The Autumnal Gathering event for the Black Rock Arts Foundation, a ton of my friends are heading to the other side of town to catch The Budos Band play at the Mezzanine. While this band playing here in San Francisco on Saturday night is usually not [...]

In a way, the weather at the 2011 North Coast Music Festival was like a microcosm of Chicago's whole summer. First it was super hot, then it was rainy, and finally, on the last day, it was just right. And in the true Chicago spirit, the attendees at North Coast's sophomore showing were game for anything as long as it meant they could dance. Danceability seemed like the only factor that connected many of North Coast's diverse acts. The headliners had lengthy electronic resumes: Thievery Corporation, Bassnectar, Fatboy Slim, and David Guetta. Meanwhile, the undercard was [...]

This week's NYC -area concert calendar is bumpin'! The Allmans Brothers are back at the Beacon, Elvis Costello 's at the Count Basie Theatre, They Might Be Giants play the Williamsburg Waterfront, we've got two shows by reunited 90s alt-rock titans (Bush and STP), and this oddball lineup of Weezer , The Flaming Lips and Yeasayer are all at Jones Beach. But, as usual, it's the smaller club shows - and, in this case, the boat cruises - that interest me most. For something a bit more rock-based [...]
The new video for the Budos Band's "Unbroken, Unshaven" is a mix between Fear and Loathing, Big Lebowski, and Clint Eastwood....and it's SWEET. If you don't own Budos Band's latest III , get on it , you won't be disappointed.
On the video for "Unbroken, Unshaven," the Budos Band sets its music to visuals I could only dream of 'til today. As soon as two bandito-looking dudes get into a dueling stance, the video is nothing but bullets, cards, facial hair, and pretty ladies. And I've seen enough James Bond movies to know this looks just like the kind of kind of thing that would serve as an introduction to one. Well, if the James Bond franchise were set in the wild west, yeah. I know I wasn't a huge fan of the album [...]
Thanks to our friends at Spinner we have the video for longtime Staten Island, NY favorites Budos Band 's "Unbroken, Unshaven", from their most recent album Budos Band III , out now on Daptone . The video makes me think of all those crazy special effects they used for the bullets in the film Wanted but with cowboys instead. The band is currently out on tour in the US and Europe this summer. Be sure to head over to their [...]

Not one, but TWO Theo London jams for your Thursday. "No Particular One" is a cover of the great Jesse Boone soul track Mr. London recently cut with the Budos Band. Fresh. "Wine & Chocolates", excerpted from the "Lover's Holiday" EP from earlier this year, sounds as much Theo London 2011 as it does late 90's alternaelectro. We're hearing Soul Coughing! Timez Are Weird These Dayz is due July 19 Theophilus London - No Particular One Theophilus London - Wine & Chocolates [...]
