Galaxisok
Galaxies: album launch concert in the Dürer concert hall.
In the place of the benches where the first kisses were tasted, a hotel or a housing estate is built, the wind blows us from West to East, and we dream of beauty in vain, but keep running into concrete walls.
In the Headwinds is a true protest record, the most public-spirited and political publication in the history of Galaxies, often angry and passionate, sometimes desperate. Instead of dreams and nostalgia, it is now about the present through the eyes of an age that often watches helplessly as its common ship is steered in an unacceptable direction by unacceptable characters.
Schedule
Galaxisok, led by Benedek Szabó, is one of the Hungarian bands with one of the most circuitous careers. Polbeates solo albums turned into jangly indie, then experimental piano ballads, followed by a world tour double album (Stories from the Lives of Others) with South American and African influences, then a synth post-punk album (Don't Love Us!) reminiscent of the cassette underground of the 1980s. With all the variables, one thing has remained intact: the unforgettable mood of the instantly recognisable lyrics. Galaxisok will release a new album in 2024, their eighth album entitled In the Headwinds.
Dürer Kert
Dürer Kert, which moved from the City Park to the vicinity of Kopaszi Dam, is one of the hangouts of Budapest's surviving peripheral subcultures, but it's also worth visiting if you just want a perfect garden spot. That is, starting in spring. Until then, let's keep rockin'! And after that, too.
