Editor's info:
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" in 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 a private estate outside of London. If the menacing album art, which features a cobra primed for the attack, is any indication of the music itself, we can expect an all out assault of the senses, with a tendency towards the venomous and psychedelic.

"The end result," as Pitchforkmedia states, "is something so hip it could kill you in large doses-in the right doses it just plain kills."

"The minor-key horns and creeping bass lines will scare, not ease, you onto the dance _oor." -Spin

"You could put [The Budos Band II] on in any room in the world-a nightclub in Barcelona, a nursing home in Tena_y-and folks would not be able to stop themselves from dancing." -NY Mag

"When your whole sound is based on the groove, keeping your listener wanting more is essential, and this does that." -Pitchfork

Nowojorska formacja The Budos Band sprawia recenzentom niemały kłopot, sami swój styl określają mianem "Staten Island instrumental afro-soul", drążąc dalej dochodzimy do zaskakujących inspiracji od Cairo Jazz Band, JC Davis, Mulatu Astatke po Black Sabbath.
Polscy krytycy częściej lokują ich obok Spaceman 3, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Jamesa Browna, Fela Kuti'ego oraz Sun Ra.
Ich unikalne analogowe brzmienie stało się znakiem rozpoznawczym zespołu, sample z ich utworów są bardzo często wykorzystywane w telewizyjnych i radiowych dżinglach, grach komputerowych, weszły do wielu ścieżek dżwiękowych filmów kinowych i telewizyjnych jak i są muzyczną pożywką dla wielu amerykanskich hip-hopowców.
Panie i panowie, przed wami jeden z najgorętszych funkowych kolektywów rodem z Nowego Jorku, dziesięciu zwariowanych na punkcie Jamesa Browna, Mulatu Astatke, Fela Kuti'ego, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra i czego tam jeszcze facetów po raz trzeci zaprasza do zabawy!
