Doesn't this song make you want to go to a great vintage store, buy some flare pants, platform shows, skin tight shirt, big gold glasses and a funky wig? It's a funky instrumental that is sure to get you grooving. Look for this track on their upcoming album . Budos Band - " Chicago Falcon " (mp3)
One listen to Nicole Willis, and there's no question that this woman has soul. One look at the liner notes to Keep Reachin' Up with all those Finns playing in the Soul Investigators and you may be asking yourself, do Finns have soul? I know a Finn. He doesn't have much soul. He does an all right job of "Mustang Sally" on Karaoke night, but I would never, ever confuse his tipsy delivery with soul. Yet, when you hear Nicole Willis and The Soul Investigators on "If This Ain't Love (I Don't Know What Is)" [...]
For those of you that have been coming here frequently over the last few months, you probably have noticed all of the grindhouse related side notes that have detailed my numerous trips through the style of film. Well, that tiny feature will soon come to a close once I finish watching the last handful of flicks that are in my Netflix queue. I have no doubt that I will miss the constant barrage of bat-shit crazy plots, but what I will miss the most is that gloriously funky soul music of the 70s, which brings me to the [...]

Anyone who claims that the genres of funk and jazz are slowly fading is horribly mistaken. The genres that are considered to be "hot" in present day culture are generated by commercialized media with the target audience of teens and young adults. This form of media is currently dependent on style over substance, choosing to show scantily clad girls grinding or the most expensive cars available in favor of actual instrumentation. Take a look at the guys above. Would they fit in a video with Usher and his revolving pack of plastic women? Of course not. Not to be superficial, [...]
Okay, so not everyone makes a snap-connection between God's creatures and their Decepticon-counterparts, but I happen to be one of them, and when I heard The Budos Band's latest was homage to one certain little anthropod, those little green lights that I call my neurons fired off Scorponok . Just look at those claws... chilling . Not nearly as chilling as the up-tempo Stanton Island afrobeat this eleven piece can pull off with their arsenal of drums, bass, guitar, electric organ, trumpets, sax, bongos, congas, tambourine, guiro, clave, shekere and cowbell. If they [...]
The Budos Band - Budos Rising (Daptone 2007) The Budos Band – The Budos Band II / Daptone Sometimes it blows my mind how one particular style of music can grab and hold your attention for so long despite the fact that it has been bubbling in the ears of listeners for an extended amount of time. While this phenomenon is apparent in any number of particular genres from opera to punk, for my ears in particular its quality funk music. Not that I have never [...]
I really need to clean up the old inbox so read below for the nifty shit I found. Some guy named Owen Duff sent me an MP3 of a track he recorded called "Act Of War" from his EP "A Tunnel, Closing In" and I'm kinda digging it. MP3: Act Of War - Owen Duff Looks like there's another video of Bulby promoting the new QOTSA album. About a week ago or so I was invited over to World's Fair for
DOWNLOAD: The Budos Band - Chicago Falcon (MP3) Unlike during the dance parade in Manhattan on Saturday , the sun was shining at the 5th Avenue Street Fair in Park Slope on Sunday (May 20, 2007). The annual Brooklyn festival runs down 5th Ave from Southpaw , past Union Hall , and ends right around the Lucky 13 Saloon . The bands playing in front of Southpaw this year were Miss Fairchild , The Real Live Show , and, the only one I saw - [...]
