I am a super fun popular music combo by the name of Chik Budo. I dont sing sweet songs about love or bamboozle you with an aggressive political agenda. Instead I try to make you happy by blasting you with a squalling noise for approximately 30 minutes. Dont worry if this sounds scary. Trust me, you will enjoy it.
I comprise of the following components:
Reeds: Webster & Williams
Rumble & Binary: Hahn
Polyphony: Crowther
Bashes: Fujimoto
I am composed in painstaking detail on a computer by Hahn with the invaluable harmonic contributions of Webster & Crowther. Its controversial, but it works.
I can often be found late at night making a mighty racket in a dingy dive close to you. This is normally in the sprawling metropolis that is London, but don't worry, I will travel in exchange for several bags of gold.

Look! Its Chik Budo! In a garden! I bet you wish it was your garden.
Then you could get bollocked by your neighbours too!
Chik Budo performing Uber and NY/NX at Venn Festival, Bristol on Saturday June 7th 2008. Surely this is far too much fun to be considered remotely healthy?
the video with the reverb on the saxes, and dan saying 'oh no...no reverb' is classic. Why must sound men always insist on reverb on the saxes, does it ever sound good?
Regrettably not - my press pass has been swiped by the girlfriend of my colleague, so I'm stuckety stuck entertaining myself with the joys of flat hunting then, er, lord knows what. We're gonna be in town though, so hopefully we'll catch some essence of Venn... Bit gutted really...
heyyy how u? could i have 10 pound ticket please if its not too late? but i have to have some food with a friend who leaving London after work, so what time and where are you at? i wanna go to see Greco roman and Diplo show at Hoxton bar and grill too...x
Yo Yo guys. Just wanted to warn you - We've got our first London show with our new line up next week. Haven't learnt the new songs yet... don't come. It'll be BAD.
