About Me


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!
