If you put 'Gloomy Tuesday' into Google, you come up with a website called the hub. But that isn't because I've just written the words 'Gloomy Tuesday' and because we're a website - it's a completely unrelated thing about Boston. Spooky!

Mantra Porno (Concert)

Gödör, 8th July, from 21.00, free
Erzsébet tér [map]
Pest Centre, VI, Deák tér (M1/2/3), 1 min

Mantra Porno like monkeys. Check out one of their videos for proof. They can get pretty poppy at times, Massive Attack-like or psyche-funkey-dopey at others. They'll probably be on at around ten. Supporting are Sajnos Batár, who are, and let's be fair to them, Hungarian rock at its most average.

Irie Maffia (Concert), 8th July, Corvintető

You know that song that goes "Don't die, don't die..." that gets tons of airplay? Well that's not Irie Maffia. But it does involve Barabás Lorinc and Dagadu Sena who are both in Irie Maffia along with a million other projects. They're incredibly hard working. This is the reggae/hip-hop project.

Irina Palm (Film), Uránia, 8th July, 20:30

Marianne Faithful was 61 last year: just the right time to play the lead in a sex-work drama. It got 72% on Rotten Tomatoes - might be worth a look.

Rekontra (Concert), Pótkulcs, 8th July, 21:00, free
So you don't like metal or funk? Well, hard-to-find Pótkulcs hosts Rekontra, who breathe more life into traditional folk music than you might think possible.
