16/07/09

The weekend in Budapest starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. So for the first day of the weekend, you'd better find yourself something to do...

B. B. King (Concert)

Papp László Sportaréna
16th July, 20:00, 7,500 - 29,900Ft
Stefánia út 2 [map]
Pest, XIV, Stadionok (M2)
Riley B King was born in 1925! He's 83 and he's still got the blues! Clearly, there are few bluesmen who could claim to be original left but BB was singing the blues even before he started working the plantations for a dollar a day. Not many people can say that.

Website here. Tickets here.

Take a chance on...

Trip Out For Me Argentina (Concert + DJs)
Kertem, Városliget [map], 20:00, free
Psycho Project are a trippy mix of
psychedelic post rock and electronic noodling. They're followed by a bunch of Argentine DJs, most of whom are in the band. Enjoy beneath the trees tonight or at Gödör tomorrow.

Casablanca (Film)
Örökmozgó [map], 16:30
You're kidding me! You've never seen Casablanca? Call yourself a human being? Original trailer here. And don't wait for him to say "Play it again, Sam." because he won't. Nor does he say "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." (That was Gone with the Wind.)

Chico Freeman (Concert)
Millenáris [map] 20:00, 2500Ft adv. 3000Ft on the day
Who let the cats out? Renowned tenor saxophonist, Chico Freeman teams up with local pianist, Árpád Oláh Tzumó, who just happens to be the youngest blue note pianist of all time. Expect mind-bending shrieks mixed up with a bit of be-bop 'n' rockin' blues.
