Balkan Beats (Concerts)

Playful Italians, Circo Abusivo were touring with Gogol Bordello this summer, and the similarities won't go unnoticed. They're joined by the reliably lively rumba and jazz-tinged gypsy music of Romano Drom. DJ Stoner ensures that the Italians have the last dance, unless he's edged out by Balkan Beats' very own German, Robert Soko.

Thieves Like Us (Concert)
Trafó, 15th November, 21:00
And now it's the turn of Paris-based Thieves Like Us, who ply their electropop as only the French can. Except they're really Swedish and American, with drugs in their bodies. Kunk and Popbitch DJs follow; Hammer of Gods precede.

Muno No Hito - Nowhere Man - Az élhetetlen (Film)
Örökmozgó, 15th November, 18:30
Art rocks. No not art-rock. Rock as in stones. Not the Rolling Stones. Now listen: Sukezo sells rocks, in a rocky stream, to people who are baffled because they can just pick them up themselves. A weird concept for an arty Japanese film. English subtitles.

Eat Me! (Club)
Cökxpôn, 15th November, 22:00, 600Ft
Eat me? What is it? Pop, trance and dance blend together in a smooth melée. Myspace here.
