Schedule
With the Esőnap album, the band Black-Out undeniably carved out a place for themselves on the Hungarian rock music scene.
Kowalsky’s lyrics are characterized by poetic depth, symbols, a whirlwind of emotions, fear, hope, and inner turmoil, which universally resonate with the listener. This wide-ranging, exciting dynamic also characterizes the rock music world brought to life by Szabi Csányi and his band—a world born of grunge but imbued with a Hungarian soul.
The concept of the album, released in 1996, was also unique, as in the old cassette era, Side A was “ESŐ” with its more introspective songs, while Side B, “NAP,” featured lighter-toned tracks.
This album features one of their most iconic songs, “Spirál,” which remains an indispensable part of Hungarian rock compilations to this day, and the title track “Esőnap” is one of the most frequently quoted alternative rock lyrics, having become a cult classic that spans generations.
Esőnap is thus a true timeless classic, offering something to discover not only for nostalgic, loyal Black-Out fans but also for the new generation.
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.
