Details:
"The Time or The Place" marks the first full-length studio album for Los Angeles-based rock noir band, Budhi Brown. Their music has been described as "a car crash between Morphine and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion" and as the soundtrack to a film noir movie. What makes Budhi Brown so unique is the supplanting of traditional guitar with two instruments rarely found in contemporary rock bands: the two-string slide bass and the baritone saxophone. In addition to the three band members, this album also includes tenor saxophonist, Goz Inyama, who has recorded and performed with Macy Gray and Ozomatli.

Budhi Brown is an original band that performs with a jazz/blues ascetic. They've been performing and recording together for more than six years, getting their start in Fort Collins, CO. After completing several regional tours,
the band relocated to Southern California, where they can be found spreading the word of rock noir throughout dark, smoky, whiskey-drenched lounges.

In early 2004, Budhi Brown teamed up with renowned Los Angeles arthouse director, Michael Medaglia (www.prettypictures.com), to film a music video for "Death is a Flower." Since completion, the music video has been traveling the U.S. independent film festival circuit.
