July 24, 2009 CAMPUS adventures
# posted by Kristof in performances
so. we had one of our most adventurous shows ever. the wind was blowing 45 kmph, the ethno/electro whatever tent overhearing was outrageous. still. there was some spark. people came, people stayed. we also for the first time ever had to change the setlist during the concert in order to be heard, so we played our louder songs in the first half of the concert and put the quieter ones to the end when the other tent decided to stop playing:
intro
meteor
what do you know
two days
devil on your shoulder
pago pago
slowdown
alfred’s lovesong
protector
heroes
overture
angels’ secret
you are a lover
szívnagyobbodás
guys that died

Hey, just a quick note. We are coming back to play in London. This time it’ll be the lovely Bush Hall. We’ll play lots of songs from our debut album as well as lots of new songs.
The opening act will be by our friend, Owen Duff.
The night will be special, as that’ll be the first day you’ll be able to get a lovely comic, a British artist, Howard J Hardiman made to our song Guys That Died.
You can get tickets here.
You will be very welcome.

Spring is re-birth. How true. Today we had our first featuring stuff with Havasi again after a rest of three months. These are evenings where he has a solo concert and I go and sing a couple of UBT songs as a guest. I really enjoyed it last year, and today, well, I have to say it was fantastic. First we wanted to play our new song called “Devil On Your Shoulder” but chickened out. So we played Two Days, You Are A Lover and Overture. It was a big success, the audience really liked it. We are going to have 5 more evenings like that all over in Hungary.
Re-birth. There have been some changes in our line-up again, which I will soon communicate. It’s sad, but life goes on.
We have also been invited to play a 90 min concert in a radio studio here in Hungary of which the radio will broadcast 60 minutes. We shall happily oblige.
And how are you?

did it hurt you? we started yesterday’s set with messages. this time it was not only havasi and me, but the full line-up. for the last time. from today peter is no longer with us, as we parted. in peace.
it was a very touching and great performance. the technical background was crap, but it did not matter, we had a good time. played messages, two days & overture on piano, bass and percussion, and you are a lover with piano only. as an encore we played guys that died.
so what next? we have to find a bassist with the speed of light to be able to get on stage in april. this is this week’s project. end of april we are recording a 90 minute long session with the Hungarian Radio, where we’ll not only have our new bassist, but three guests, Bíborka is coming to sing Overture with me, Agnes, who is re-appearing from our history and Tibor Bornai from KFT, with whom I am going to sing a duet. It is going to be great fun. Unfortunately the concert is invite only, but it is going to be broadcast afterwards.

so folks. this is how we start 2009. Havasi called me the end of last year to tell me that he’s got a surprise for me. He sent a DVD by post, which included a video of us doing “What Do You Know’ at his concert last October. I was not aware of cameras being there, though. And three of them! Ha! Anyway. They edited it nicely, and we decided that we liked it so much we’ll make it public.
The song was written/recorded for Chemically Happy, but left off. We quite like it. Bring on self-pity. YAY.

so we are back from london.
having flown the same day early morning we were knackered. the plane took off at 6am. we landed before 8 UK time and were met by our lovely lizzi. he took the boys to their hotel and i made my way to kennington, where i usually stay at a wonderful friend’s.
at 5-ish we had the soundcheck and then an interview for musicOMH.com . i started becoming nervous while the second act were playing already. i eventually got to a point before the concert where i nearly threw up, it’s odd though, as i had been surprisingly calm compared to my usual self the whole day.
and then we got on stage. we screwed up right the first song as bad as i don’t think we had ever done before, but from the second song on some magic started. the audience was extremely responsive and it became all self-generating, this inspired us and we played better, which made the audience even more excited. many people important for us came and everybody seemed to have enjoy it.
so let’s hope we are soon to be back for more.

so we are coming back to london this thursday. with all the promotion and press coverage we’ve had, if the concert was attended by few people only we’d deserve to be featured on failblog.com
however. i believe it’s going to be fantastic. we had a revision rehearsal, which went very well. we also included two songs we have not played yet on concerts, or have, just in another form.
we are going to be four. all drummed up. the maniest we’ve every been. also don’t forget to scream and applaud loud, as there will be press people that need to be im-pressed. hahaha.
see you in the luminaire this thursday evening

have you ever heard November by Azure Ray? It’s so beautiful.
This autumn is quite eventful for us. First of all, we had a visit from Pete Paphides from The Times, who made a feature on us which will appear later this month. It was a lovely day, and if you spot it in The Times, come here quickly, because you will see my own impressions on meeting him giving you the other side of the visit.
Then, we are also preparing for our concert in The Luminaire. The setlist will be more or less the same as the one we played in Budapest early October, but some songs will be changed.
And funnily, we started writing new songs, we already have some 6-7 tracks. A new album? Maybe. We’ll see. For now, it is for the sake of creativity only.
And how are you?
