Budos Band - Strength In Numbers


Budos Band join us live in the studio today. All nine of them. This horn driven band from Brooklyn is certainly influenced by funk and afro-beat, but their sound is much more that of an ensemble drawing strength from their arrangements rather than virtuosic jamming. That is particularly true of their new album that is released this week called Burnt Offerings where the band presents an exciting new variation on their sound. They'll play live and we'll find out how a serious love of beer fits into their tight tour schedule.
