Thomas Brenneck, connu aussi sous le nom de Tommy TNT, vivait sur Menahan Street à Bushwick quartier nord de Brooklyn. Musicien et producteur, il réussit un jour quelque chose d’incroyable: réunir dans une même pièce (son appartement en l’occurrence) des membres des groupe Antibalas, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Budos Band et El Michels Affair. [...]

Ecouter un disque de Budos Band c’est comme dépoussiérer un vieux vinyle d’une BO de film Blaxpoitation de seconde zone. Le genre de vieillerie auxquelles on ne s’attend vraiment pas. Point de gimmick familier, et pourtant cette puissance funk incroyable qu’on ne peut qu’imaginer accompagner les images d’un héros urbain noir des années 70. Les [...]

A beautiful southern California afternoon in 1974. The local bank’s glass front doors burst open, and out you gallop with two huge bags of cash. Sprinting three full blocks to the pastel Mustang convertible where your aviator-donning getaway driver waits, you hop over the passenger side door and speed away. The out-of-breath bank tellers can [...]

Shaping up to be a frantic Friday: ► Grimes — that’s the nom de tune of Montreal’s buzzing Claire Boucher — brings her synth-pop magic to the sold-out Echo, with Born Gold supporting. Grimes recently signed to the 4AD label, which released her “Visions” album this month. Go here to download “Genesis.” ► Speaking of sold [...]

I’m psyched to be hitting The Budos Band tonight at the Independent; it’s been a while since I last saw them and I was told their last show at the Mezzanine was a little lackluster. But, in their defense, they did challenge their fans to a pub crawl before the show and promised they’d be [...]

The Alabama Shakes are a revelation — a garage rock band from a small town in Alabama with a singer (Brittany Howard) who manages to channel the intensity, sass and soul of Janis Joplin. The band cites the rhythmic rock of AC/DC and Black Sabbath as influences alongside R&B; crooning from Charles Bradley and the Afro-Soul of Budos Band. The common thread is “anything with power in it”. And that was exactly the word I was left with after watching them play live. They are a powerhouse as a unit with ...
