The group has opened for High on Fire, Fu Manchu and Kyuss and in 2012 performed at the Auckland Big Day Out music festival alongside notable international acts such as Soundgarden, Röyksopp, and Kasabian.
The Beau Bro's signature chant is to the tune of the Kasabian track Vlad the Impailer with 'Beau Busch' replacing the lyrics 'get loose'.
A year later, the first issue of UKULA Magazine hit the streets, a slim staple-bound 32 page paperbacked-sized volume that included interviews with then up-and-coming bands Arcade Fire and Kasabian.
The band Kasabian named their third album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum sic, after the hospital after hearing about it on a TV documentary.
Budd has supported many artists on tour such as Kasabian, The Rifles, The Enemy, James Morrison, Amy MacDonald and Turin Brakes.
Loose Tapestries is an alternative band consisting of Sergio Pizzorno, of Kasabian, and surrealist and comedian Noel Fielding.
The band is currently recording the follow up to "Buy Yourself Some Freedom", which will be a new single produced and engineered at Trilogy Studios in San Francisco by famed producer Dan the Automator (Gorillaz, DJ Shadow, Lovage, Kasabian), set to be released in April 2012.
