ILYHB, LUVVER, GÉEM
I Love You Honey Bunny is an indie-pop-rock band from Prague. Some like their live sound and cheeky stage presence, others like their approach to songwriting, which often reflects on contemporary social and political issues. If you're drawn to punchy tunes and high energy, I Love You Honey Bunny is the perfect choice for you.
Their highly anticipated second album, 'We Just Had a Wonderful Time', was released in April 2023. This album is a deep dive into the mind and its inner workings. It focuses on the fact that society has finally recognised the dangers of mental illness and is making great strides in promoting awareness, yet there is still a long and hard road ahead.

LUVVER is a three-piece music machine from Slovakia playing crydance/indiepop. With a rock background, heavily influenced by the likes of Moderat or Tiesto-like electronica, but not devoid of contemporary radio-friendly pop tunes, they create semi-electronic-maybe-live-if-you-dance-you-want-to-stop-if-you-can-so-delicate music, dreamy and melancholic, yet uplifting harmonies intertwined with four-to-the-floor downbeats, gnarry bass grooves and the singer's powerful melodies.
Géem is a Hungarian indie folk singer who started playing solo in 2022. After several years of street performing and shouting over audiences in various pubs, he shows what it's like to sing in the solitude of quiet rooms. His sound, inspired by John Mayer, Matt Corby and Bon Iver, combines acoustic elements and electronic music to give his songs the same onstage sound as his forthcoming debut album.
In just over a year of performing under the name Géem, he has already given concerts at the Akvárium, the A38 boat, the Turbina and the Veszprém Street Music Festival. It was shortlisted for the Kikeltető and was also included in the Sound Occupier Programme.
Akvárium
As they describe themselves, it is Budapest's most frequented venue, which is also multifunctional. Akvárium is great for award ceremonies, afternoon coffees and, most importantly, concerts, thanks to the well-picked, cross-genre selection.
