MKNZ Ilirska
Bistrica, Saturday, 13.03.2004 at 22h: The band exists since 1995. They live in Hungary in the outskirts of the capital, Budapest. They like all kinds of music, but especially making music and entertaining people. After some changes in the group, hopefully the final 5-membered combination has been formed. In their music several styles can be found such as Drum & Bass, Hip Hop, Acid, Ethno. This mixture might derive from the different musical taste of the the group members. The members of the band: Gergely Jeli "Captain Iglo" - drums Norbert Varga "Jimbo" - guitar David Endrei "BlackLeslie" - bass Abel Tokes "DjSuperdj." - rhytm guitar András Dobai "Rastabandit" - vocal Their average age is about 27 year, so they are relatively young. All of them have studied at least a year at music institute, but mainly autodidactly or from private teachers. From the beginning they have been striving for making melodious sounds and for filling the songs' content with jollity and optimism. Both good humour and gaiety consider to be very important for them and also helps them to entertain at a concert or in a videoclip. These features provide something new for the audience. Most of the lyrics are written in English but some of the songs are in Hungarian. Their program contains a lot of working up from Beastie Boys, Asian Dub Fundation, songs from Pulp fiction and many others. During the past 9 years they gave more than 300 concert in clubs, regularly on college-parties and on different rock festivals. They often play in abroad /Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland/. They have already played on the same stage as Asian Dub Foundation, Zion Train, Napalm Death etc. In the last five years they participated in the most popular Hungarian music festival called Sziget-Island that might be the biggest in Europe as well. Due to the audience they were voted last year to be the 2nd most popular Hungarian young band and they can proudly add that last year they also made a terrific party on the Island. Two official sound materials have come out so far in Hungary in '97 and in '98, which were published by Crossroads Records Hungary. They have published other promotion material in the year 2001 and in 2002.
