Budgie foi uma banda de hard rock, heavy rock e heavy metal de Cardiff, País de Gales.
Criada em 1968, sua formação original consistia de Burke Shelley (John Burke Shelley, 10 de abril de 1947 - 22 de janeiro de 2022, Tiger Bay, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, Gales do Sul) no baixo e vocal, Tony Bourge (Anthony James Bourge, 23 de novembro de 1948, Tiger Bay, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, Gales do Sul) (guitarra e vocal) e Ray Phillips (Raymond John Phillips, 1 de março de 1945, Tiger Bay, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, Gales do Sul (bateria). A atual formação é composta por Simon Lees (guitarra), Burke Shelley (baixo e vocal) e Steve Williams (bateria).
Seu primeiro álbum foi gravado em Rockfield Studios com o produtor do Black Sabbath, Rodger Bain e lançado em 1971 seguido por Squawk em 1972. O álbum que se seguiu, Never Turn Your Back on a Friend (1973), inseriu a banda na história do rock and roll e possivelmente contém sua melhor canção, “Breadfan”, mais tarde regravada pelo Metallica. (Metallica também regravou uma outra canção da Budgie, “Crash Course In Brain Surgery”). Ray Philips deixou a banda antes do quarto álbum In for the Kill ser gravado e foi substituído por Pete Boot (Peter Charles Boot, 30 de setembro de 1950, West Bromwich, Staffordshire).
Em 1975 Bourge e Shelley se juntaram ao baterista Steve Williams para o álbum Bandolier, Bourge deixou a banda em dezembro de 1978 e foi substituído por John Thomas. A música do LP de 1978, “Impeckable”, fez parte da trilha sonora do filme “J-Men Forever” de 1979 (aparecendo frequentemente na série de televisão “Night Flight” da USA Network de 1981 a 1988) e se tornou um clássico. A banda resistiu com sucesso à New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) até 1982, sendo até mesmo a atração principal dos Festivais de Reading e Leeds. Eles chegaram a ter um grande número de fãs na Polônia, chegando a ser a primeira banda de heavy metal a se apresentar atrás da Cortina de Ferro em 1982. Teve também destaque a sua excursão com o apoio de Ozzy Osbourne em 1984.
A banda se desfez em 1988, seus integrantes foram participar de produções em estúdios e ocasionalmente sendo convidados para outros projetos; John Thomas participou no estúdio do CD Phenomena com o ex-integrante do Black Sabbath, Glenn Hughes. John Thomas deixou a banda em 2001 depois de terem sido a atração principal do festival ao ar-livre, “Welsh Legends of Rock”.
Desfrutando de grande popularidade no Texas, um pouco graças ao legendário promotor musical, o DJ e empresário do ramo de restaurantes, Joe “The Godfather” ou “Mr. Pizza” Anthony na rádio KMAC/KISS da década de 1970, a banda se reuniu para apresentações em 1995, 1996 e 2000 nos festivais ao ar livre ‘La Semana Alegre’ em San Antonio, Texas. Eles excursionaram de 2002 a 2006, principalmente pelo Reino Unido, pelas regiões de Nova York/Nova Jérsei, Dallas e realizaram algumas apresentações na Europa incluindo o Festival do Rock da Suécia e um retorno à Polônia pós-comunista.
Budgie gravou um novo álbum intitulado You’re All Living In Cuckooland, que foi lançado no Reino Unido no dia 7 de novembro de 2006. Texto: Wikipédia. Site Oficial.
