Budos Band Video Shoot– Behind The Scenes

I got to attend a video shoot for the Budos Band this past Sunday. I was pretty hype about it cause I missed one of their shows a few nights earlier in New York because it was sold out. If you don’t know about the Budos Band yet, they’re on the Daptones label, and share some of the same members as the Dap Kings (backing band for Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse). The Budos Band is made up of eleven members from Staten Island (kinda like the funk/afro-beat version of Wu-Tang).
The video shoot was at a small bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn called the Lucky Cat. The flyer for the shoot said they needed 50 people to be in the video. I was disappointed because only about 20 people showed up for the shoot (besides the band and the camera crew). I don’t know what song they were shooting the video for, but they played about a 20 minute set. Backed by a layered rhythm section, most of the band took a backseat for the horns and organ player to shine.
Check out their myspace page or Daptone Records. They just dropped a new album called Budos Band II so act like you know.
