The Budos Band<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My association with The Budos Band<\/em> begins with my association with Verizon FiOS.\u00a0 <\/em>In the summer of 2007 FiOS came to our house. With it came The NFL Network. <\/em>The timing was cool because The Colts <\/em>had just one the Super Bowl and The NFL Network was showing plenty of Colts stuff.\u00a0 At the time they also were showing a commercial for\u00a0 The NFL Network that featured a really cool song.<\/p>\n

This was still in the time before Shazam<\/em> and services like it were available. Fortunately I was able to use the fabulous internet to find out who it was. If I were smarter, I would have found out the song too but I guess I was lucky to guess wrong in this case.<\/p>\n

I went on line and searched NFL Network commercial song. <\/em>After combing through some results I found a post where somebody said It is The Budos Band. <\/em>I jumped over to Amazon search Budos Band and a few days later I playing The Budos Band II <\/em>( the one with the scorpion on the cover). It was cool afro funk type jazz. The song from the commercial wasn’t there though. Again I search and this time found out that the song was called Up From The South. <\/em>I went back to Amazon and searched Budos band and found another album.\u00a0 I confirmed that Up From The South<\/em> was on it. It was there only other album at the time. A few days later and I was listening to The Budos Band I <\/em>(The one with the volcano on the cover).<\/p>\n

Again more great stuff! A year or so later and The Budos Band III <\/em>(The one with the cobra on the cover) came out and found its way instantly into my eclectic collection. The Budos Band <\/em> are really good and I have yet to find somebody who says different. Ken called them Budos Dudos. \u00a0If you pay attention, you’ll hear snippets of Budos tunes in commercials all over the place.<\/p>\n
