Daptone Records is proud to present The Budos Band III, unleashing The Budos Band’s brazen sound and inspiring
fervor among music lovers throughout the world.
Produced by Bosco Mann and TNT at Daptone Records’ 'House of Soul Studios' Bushwick, Brooklyn, the band’s third full-length studio effort was conceived during weekly, beer-fueled Staten Island writing sessions – as well as more than 150 live gigs over the last two years – and recorded during a 48 hour period in January 2010.
Since the release of their critically acclaimed The Budos Band II (2007), Staten Island’s sole afro-funk collective has been keeping busy. The Budos have toured Europe, the US West Coast, Midwest, New Orleans, Miami, Northeast, and Canada.
A mix of club dates, festivals, and the occasional high-profile private event has placed the band in front of a wide range
of listeners. One two-week span at the end of the summer of 2008 saw them play jazz clubs in France, pubs in Belgium,
the large Lowlands Festival in Holland, and Mark Ronson’s birthday party at private estate outside of London.
