DEBUT PARTY April 30th feat. BUDOS BAND!

BUDOS BAND IS BACK!

OK everyone, you remember a few weeks ago when we tried to go see Budos Band at Union Pool for Voodoo Funk? Unfortunately, chances are you were among the same ranks as my friends and me. We were but a few of hundreds of people who were turned away when Daptone Records' reigning champs of afro-beat-infused funk, The Budos Band, oversold the small club before the show even started!

Well, now's our chance to right this incredulous wrong. Budos Band have joined forces with CLUSTERFUNK to give the fair people of Brooklyn what they clearly asked for: a giant funk party with the Budos, and plenty of room to dance!

CLUSTERFUNK's debut party will commence at 9pm on Thursday, April 30th.

"With it's twenty-two legs, three horns, and hallucinogenic venom, The Budos Band, the un-heralded emperors of Instrumental Staten Island Afro-Soul, continue to rule. The band commands their listeners to follow them on their second journey into the depths of their poisonous vision. While their debut album was itself heralded as a groundbreaking exploration of funk, afro-beat and soul music, few could predict that their second effort would not only match but surpass the realm of mind-expansion embodied on their first sessions. Through ten exciting new instrumentals recorded live at Daptone's House of Soul in Bushwick, Brookyln, The Budos Band pours themes at once resonant and ethereal over Herculean rhythms."

CLUSTERFUNK: Brooklyn's Only Funk Circus is Born!

It's the age-old story, former tour manager and former venue manager re-meet in the same Brooklyn watering hole that they last said crossed paths in three years prior, both realize that they are looking to throw the biggest and best funk party the borough has ever seen, and how circuses would be so much cooler if they just played Sly & The Family Stone and Parliament instead of the traditional big-top fare. Likewise, they both agreed that while a good stinky groove is something that the whole family can enjoy, the visuals are usually not quite as funky...and this party can't get down without both crazy sights and crazy sounds.


Galaxy Smith, Inc. and Brooklyn Love have partnered to bring some much needed energy and fun back to North Brooklyn. Together, they will be throwing a monthly party entitled, CLUSTERFUNK!, at Greenpoint's Club Europa.
