Song:The Volcano Song
Album:The Budos Band
Funk fans should check out The Budos Band. They call themselves Staten Island Soul and they are part of the Daptone Records retro soul movement. The formation of The Budos Band came out of jam sessions with Antibalas. So there are also African music influences. The band membership changes quite a bit because the musicians all play sessions. They also play on a lot of Daptone recordings by Lee Fields among others. The 2005 album The Budos Band was produced by Daptone owners and Dap-Kings members Gabriel Roth and Bosco Mann. Tommy "TNT" Brenneck co-produced and plays guitar and co-writes most of the songs. Other musicians include Andrew Greene and Michael Irwin on trumpet, Neal Sugarman of the Dap-Kings on tenor sax, Daisy Sugarman on flute, Jared Tankel on baritone sax, Mike Deller on organ, Daniel Foder on bass, Brian Profilio and John Carbonara Jr. on drums and Johnny Griggs, Duke Amayo, Rob Lombardo and Dame Rodriguez on percussion. The Budos Band have recorded five albums. Burnt Offering was the latest in 2014. They are still around playing occasional gigs in the New York area. And as I said, the members play on other Daptone albums. Here's the video for The Volcano Song by The Budos Band. Classic animation fans will recognize that the animation in the video is from the 1942 Superman cartoon Volcano produced by The Fleischer Brothers.
