Budian is a four piece indie pop band from San Antonio, Texas. Formed in 2003, the band played around San Antonio and Austin until 2005, when the band went on hiatus. In 2008, with the addition of a bass player and guitarist, Budian was re-energized and played their first show in 3 years. September 2009 saw the release of their first full length album, entitled The Beast.
