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 Budos Band.
The Staten Island product play a modern style of the funk that I love so
much and I believe they are one of the first bands in a line of many that I
will inevitably seek out to satisfy my funk fix. Watch out for their
new album, Budos Band II, soon. Enjoy.
:The
Budos Band - Chicago Falcon:
The way this just jumps out at you from the beginning and then proceeds to
have various spurts of groove-inducing joy is fantastic. It's almost
as if the band consciously made the decision to not risk the chance of
accidentally blowing your mind, so they provided moments that remind you to
breath. Seriously though, I'm just thrilled to know I finally have the
perfect song to play in the background if I ever have a reason to get ready
to attempt to be badass.
The video below
is for a track titled Volcano Song, which is from the
band's self titled debut. I don't know if the 70s
style cartoon footage was made for the piece or taken from
something else, but it's pretty adventurous and it fits well
with the funky pace of the song.
