Celebrate Debbie Harry's 63rd birthday today. (Actually it was yesterday.) What do you mean "Debbie Harry's 63"? That's older than my mum! Anyway, who is she? Only the most famous part-Hungarian punky blondie to ever grace the stage at CBGB's! If she were in Budapest tonight - and she probably is - she's bound to be at one of the following...

Harcsa Veronika Quartet (Concert)

Gödör, 2nd July, 20.00
Erzsébet tér [map]
Pest Centre, VI, Deák tér (M1/2/3), 1 min

Gödör's midweek jazz doesn't just sound beautiful tonight, as versatile vocalist, Harcsa Veronika, whose vocals grace records from Colorstar to Eric Sumo, brings her own jazz quartet to Gödör. She doesn't know it's her I'm dreaming of... sounds kind of creepy when I say it. Website here.

Bringin' It Back (Music Festival), Petőfi Csarnok, 2nd July, 15.30
If you like your metal thrash, and you've got a vague memory of Agnostic Front, this might be the mad ball you've been dreaming of. Myspace here. We don't actually recommend this, by the way, unless you want to hurt your ears. It's a good time for music lovers to head north-west.
