27/02/09

Today marks the 78th anniversary of the first commerical flight to circumnavigate the globe. Rumour has it the pilot was low on fuel somewhere over Eastern Europe but held out 'til touchdown in London. If he'd stopped in Budapest, surely he would've checked out one of these...

The Bad Plus (Concert)

Millenáris, 27th February, 20:00, 2500/3000 Ft
Kirókus u. 16- 20. [map]
Buda II, Széna tér (T4/6), 5 min
American Jazz trio, The Bad Plus, comes to Budapest to promote their new album "For All I Care" with vocal support from newest member, Wendy Louis. In a vain similar to recent visitors, Nouvelle Vague, The Bad Plus slows down and re-works songs from Pink Floyd to Radiohead, adding melifiluous melody with a questionably effective jazz twist.
3000 forint might be a bit steep but that's Millenáris for you. Take a listen here.

Bomb the Band: Carl Craig (Club)
A38, 27th February, 20:00, 3500/4000Ft
Detroit legend of all things techno, Daniel Craig brings backyard beats to Budapest. He's joined by Suhaid, Johnson, and Vázsony for what should be a happening party if you're into the thumping tuc-tuc and aren't disuaded by the hefty cover. Listen/watch here.

Knotty Headz EarthDay Charity Bash (Concert)
Gödör, 16th January, from 20:00, 1800-2000Ft
Hungarian reggae on tap tonight, and if you thought acts of such an anomolous genre would be in short supply you'd be wrong. Knotty Headz headline a long list of like and unlike performers for an evening draw that's sure go late. Local staple Irie Maffia will be there as well, joined by Empress Ayeola (JAM), Jah Miracle (JAM) and others.

Re-DNA - Tranz Danz (Contemporary Dance)
Trafó [map], 27th February, 20:00, 2000Ft / 1500Ft students
No, not dancing transexuals. "We live in a constantly renewed archaic spiritual transition and have a desire for renovation, one of the decisive existential experiences of the human being: re-DNA." Quite ambitious to convey that in dance! Music by Mihály Dresch. Preview and details here.
