The English word "Tuesday" owes its origins to Tyr, the Norse god of war, equivalent to the Roman god Mars, after whom many Latin languages name the same day. In short, today is war day and, with that sentiment in mind, our recommended entertainment includes...

Hippikiller (Concert)

A38
terrace, 21:00, 500Ft inc. drink

Petőfi hid [map]
Buda, XI, Petőfi híd (Budai hídfő) (T4/6), 2 min

Indie Garage Rock band, Hippikiller are actually quite good! They describe themselves as a "bizarre mixture of pseudo art-hard rock and post punk/noise". In fact, they are quite a lot better than that and well worth a listen.

This is clearly a band who don't take themselves too seriously and, as a result, manage to come up with fun lyrics and imaginative songs. Also playing will Varga Zsuzsa, with her own personal blend of repetitive electro-pop.

Or how about...?


Irie Maffia Soundsystem (Club)
Corvinteto 21:00, free
Columbo, Juno and Dermot are in the house, plying their DJ trade. Myspace here. If you don't fancy it, the roof's open, so you can sit in the glorified carpark above the city until the sun comes up.

Inglourious Basterds (Film)
All manner of Palace Cinemas: times here
It's the long-awaited return to form of Quentin Tarantino. This time, he tackles the Word War II genre in his own unique style. The impressive cast includes: Brad Pitt, Mike Myers and QT regular Samuel L Jackson. Expect plenty of gratuitous violence and superb acting. Oh and yes, it is supposed to spelled that way apparently... Reviews here.

Superbutt (Concert)
Zöld Pardon [map], 20:00, 300ft
Superbutt? Seriously? Very much so. The renowned metal rockers head for the banks of the Danube. Take a listen here.
