Crushingly killer riffs, old-school doom metal, punk, progressive rock, three great Hungarian bands. Worth the weight!
If you are looking for a Hungarian band making music that weighs as much as the entire discography of Crowbar, your search ends here: Apey & The Pea plays the most brutal and heavy version of doommetal you'll ever hear from a Hungarian band. The members met in a Pantera tribute band (Remembering The Steel), and their first album (Devil's Nectar) was one of the best things the Hungarian underground scene could offer since last year. Now they are back with a second album (Hellish) under their bottle of Jack Daniel's. Grand Mexican Warlock will play a unique mix of Led Zeppelin, The Mars Volta, Jeff Buckley, and Radiohead – progressive rock with indie-influences.Kollektiva Summer Hits 2014 - Volume 1 @ Ötkert, 22:00.

"One man's trash, that's another man's come-up!" – such is the wisdom of Macklemore's famous song.

"Sounds like Marked Men playing the Buzzcocks covers of the Ramones." Yep, raw, catchy powerpop punk attacks with some Hungarian madness-rock by Tumo.
All of The Love Triangle's recordings have been marked by a particularly raw, aggressive, and even ugly takes on classic power pop. Huge choruses,
four-on-the-floor drumming, meandering walking bass lines, thrillingly melodic vocals and guitar, fuzz – it recalls the classic songwriting of Nuggets greats like theElectric Prunes and the Seeds as much as it does the more melodic end of the '77 set like Protex, the Lurkers, and the Boys. The members of Fluffers previously played in bands like Blank Pages, Modern Pets, Adults or Diät, and play an even uglier take on pop punk.Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra @ Barba Negra Track, 19:00.
Rudeboys in the Track! The best Hungarian ska band, known for their energetic concerts and authentic take on roots reggae and dancehall.
Some say it's hard to distinguish PASO's music from the Jamaican originals. But those who give the tracks more careful consideration will ulitmately realize that this music is an exquisite blend of uptempo skanks, bedrock reggae riddims, two-tone tunes and deep dub echoes, all merged with jazzy grooves and touches of the joyfully, realistic Eastern European musical heritage. This variety comes from the musicians' diverse roots – they come from different scenes in the Hungarian underground, ranging from hard-core to big bands. What makes this night even more special is that the band will play songs that rarely make it to the setlist: Elhagytam Magam, Brownie, Jump, Úszom Az Árral...SundayGouba - The Sunday Bazaar @ Gozsdu Court, 10:00.
Visitors will find a multi-faceted and rich selection of products “almost nowhere (else) to be seen”, excluding neither amorphous toy rabbits with lucid eyes nor exceptionally valuable paintings.
The “Portobello of Budapest”, with delightful background music, will entertain particular and open-minded visitors with unique works by representative artists and craftsmen, valuable works of art and antiques. Antique dealers, publishers, antiquarians, designers, craftsmen and industrial artists – they all take part in the market. The Sunday atmosphere of passages offers an exciting and meaningful recreation for visitors at Gozsdu Udvar. And if you want to cool down between two stands, a wide variety of pubs surrounds the stands.
