TOTORO Year Opening Concert
"it's unfurled, and here's life,
the sun waits above my head,
to fall upon me, I wonder why I'm afraid,
or will it land somewhere behind the houses"
Schedule
The two of us (Anna Kollarics and Attila Kollarics) founded the band in 2020, when we were able to perform our first few songs at the Made in Pécs Festival. In the meantime, we added many new songs to our repertoire and in the short year 2021 we could already play at Ördögkatlan and Fishing, among others.
Since the beginning we have been playing our songs written in Hungarian, occasionally accompanied by a cover that is important to us. We always try to find the most authentic form for our visuals, as most of the covers and clips are our own work.
2022 brought big changes. After the release of our first album, Aquarium, which was recorded acoustically, we have been constantly expanding. First drummer Dani Dombi, then guitarist Mózes Szabadi and bassist Ádám Varga joined us. With the space and sound created by the five of us, the air in which our songs, the audience and ourselves can feel at home is even wider.
This year, we are touring the country as the opening act for Siam AndFriends with the support of the NKA Voice Occupation Mentorship Programme. It has been a huge honour to perform at the A38 Ship, Kobuci and in many beautiful rural cities.
And with the autumn tour still to go, we just keep playing and playing.
