Details:
BB Chung King & The Buddaheads are back on the LA scene after returning from a tour of Asia and the U.S. Taking a year and a half off, Alan Mirikitani (aka BB Chung King) established his own 24 track recording studio "Dawghouse Studios" in Burbank California.
BB''s music is a mix of roots rock with a blues base. BB has always claimed blues to be his first love, but comes from a generation that loves to rock. Their first CD "Blues Had A Baby", was released in 1994 on RCA/BMB and received generous support from radio fans. If you have to categorize the music, it is somewhere between newer artists Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Blues Travelers. But make no mistake, BB Chung King & The Buddaheads are the original LA version!
The current line up of The Buddaheads has been playing and recording together for many years; Boyd Lefan on bass and drummer Joe "The Bricklayer" Pafumi. No hacks here, just some of the best musicians in LA!
BB keeps quite busy with the Buddaheads, but also finds time to write, record and produce music for other artists. BB has written songs for blues legends such as Lonnie Brooks, Tinsley Ellis and recently helped Ruth Brown receive a Grammy for her performance of his song "Too Little, Too Late". Then he produced, wrote, engineered and played on B.J. Sharp''s Grammy nominated CD "Never Felt No Blues". Her CD reached number 4 in the charts in Europe, without being issued there!
You can also hear the Buddaheads paying tribute to Lowell George. Together with Eddie Money, they perform the title track to the tribute album titled "Rock and Roll Doctor" (a song which appears as a bonus track on the Buddaheads "Live Japan" CD).
"Play Hard", the third full length album, was released in Japan by Kiagan Records. Here in the US, the band is negotiating a new contract and distribution deal. To please the demand of the rest of their fans around the world, they have added some recent songs and the now re-titled, selfmanufactured limited edition CD "In The Mirror", is available and will no doubt become a collectors item.
The bands latest effort, "Go For Broke" is a breathtaking collection of Rockin'' Blues and power packed ballads. "More great Buddaheads music" you say? Yeap. Catch BB Chung King & The Buddaheads as they rock some of LA''s clubs and keep up to date via their web site, https://www.tradebit.com.
Buddaheads songs can also be heard in the following films:
MY COUSIN VINNY HEAVEN & EARTH ROBO COP II CONTACT BRING DOWN THE STARS GREAT EXPECTATIONS & CHUCK NORRIS'' FOREST WARRIOR.
And on the TV shows: E.R., The Young & The Restless & Melrose Place.
BB himself also had a small acting role in the movie BOYS ON THE SIDE staring Whoopi Goldberg.
