18/09/09

On this day in 2004, the great American film director, Russ Meyer died. Meyer created numerous Hollywood masterpieces, such as: "Skyscrapers and Brassieres", "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill", "Mondo Topless" and of course "Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens". The inscription on his gravestone reads: "King of the Nudies, I was glad to do it". Russ would undoubtedly have enjoyed...

Anna & the Barbies (Concert)

Delírium, 18th September, 21:00, 1000ft
Kertész utca 33 [map]
Pest VII, Kiralyi utca (T4/6), 3 min

They describe themselves as a Hungarian hip-hop band but actually they are a bit more mainstream pop than that. Experienced and accomplished live performers, Anna and the Barbies always put on an entertaining live show. If you are expecting a troop of plastic blonde teenage girls, you will sadly be disappointed, as the Barbies are mainly a bunch of "well-seasoned" and "experienced" over-30s men, whilst Anna herself is a bit more Madonna than Pixie Lott, these days.

Also worth a gander...


Quimby (Concert)
Wigwam Rock Club 20:00, free
Quimby. If the name in itself doesn't make you feel all warm and fluffy inside, you must be some kind of monster. They've been on the scene for 18 years, making them the Blur of the Hungarian alt-rock world, and their alt-rock is at the Blur end of the scale too. But in Hungarian. Mostly. Website here.


El Buerdo Fuelo (Concert)
A38 terrace, 20:00, 500Ft inc. drink
They describe themselves as: "Mexican spices and hot aroma made into music, motion, dance and screaming by an excellent, young Hungarian band". I was almost hooked until they got to the screaming...

Gumipop (Club)
Tűzraktér, 22:00, free
Self-professed purveyors of the best and worst of indie-electronica-hiphop-pop-rock. Bring bubblegum. Gumipop pont hu here.
