Slam 4 (Slam)

Budapest Jazz Club, 4th April, 21:00, 1200Ft
Múzeum utca 7 [map]
Pest Centre, VIII, Kalvin tér (M3), 2 min

"All right stop, collaborate and listen; The slam is back with my brand new invention; Something grabs a hold of me tightly; Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly; Will it ever stop?"

Hungary's finest live poets, rappin' MCs and beatboxin' casanovas rock the mic like a vandal, light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle.

Take a chance on...

Budapest Fringe Festival
Millenaris Park [map], 15:00 till late, free
Fringe festivals might be a bit risky in terms of quality but with folk, jazz and flamenco all in the same place, you're likely to find something to suit your fancy. Gypsy, world, swing and jazz collective, Etnorom are the pick of the bunch at 21.40.

PASO Rudeboy Jamaican Music / Bunch of bands (Concerts)
Dürer Kert, 500/1500Ft
A choice at Durer tonight: either pick the PASO soundsystem for 500Ft or take the bands, including The Idoru who sound like Fall Out Boy and are therefore awful, and Esclin Syndo, who are keeping trip-hop alive and well in Budapest. Argue about it at the door.

Cinetrip (Pool Party)
Rudas Baths, 21:00, 5000Ft (available in advance from Merlin), 6000Ft (limited quantities at the door)
Either turn your music up very loud and invite your friends to bring some torches into the bathroom, or head down to Rudas for the large-scale version. This might just be the best way to cure your hangover, either that or keep it going. Don't forget your towel and mandatory flip-flops. Details here.

Titanic Film Festival
Uránia, Toldi, Kino, Örökmozgó, 890Ft.
Four cinemas host a boat-load of off-beat films tonight, and they're in English too. Now showing here, including bloody Australian thriller, The Horseman, Toldi at 21:00.
