The Budos Band, Paul & the Tall Trees
Majestic Theatre 115 King St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Originally rooted in Staten Island, New York, the nine-member Budos Band features horns backed by a rock band and organist. Their instrumental funk-infused world music à la Fela Kuti shares the Brooklyn neo-soul label Daptone Records with the late icons Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley. With a catalogue that’s something like a dramatic surf movie soundtrack with alternating fat solos, Budos Band don’t need no stinkin’ singer. They’re touring on their first record in five years, Budos Band V, which showcases rock and blues influences. With Paul & the Tall Trees.
