Buddy & Friends - A collage of Buddy & his friends...

Buddy & Friends

One-man-band Buddy J Francis is here to play some guitar, drums and sing (sometimes at the same time) and he's brought some friends along. Whether it's British hip-hop legend Cornelius Strongbottom (aka The Baddest Of All Time) (aka The BOAT) or the charismatic Californian Jimothy LaJones or the slightly less charismatic and mood-killing dark poet Moody J Bigfingers, you are sure to witness a musical journey that delves into such topics as love, Coopers Pale Ale, loving Coopers Pale Ale and, of course, cyber safety.

"Psychonautic scuzz" A&R Factory.

Presented by: Buddy J Francis

Buddy J Francis is a DIY multi-instrumentalist that makes psych rock that adds a dash of other genres such as hip hop and folk while throwing in some tongue-in-cheek comedic bits for good measure.

In a recording sense he operates like Mac Demarco and Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) – tracking each instrument personally. Each track takes months of work.

Live performances are more like a thespian Tash Sultana - using a loop pedal and multiple instruments while performing as several different characters (each with their own costumes and personalities).
